Hi i am having trouble with the metro apps. Whenever i open them on any account except my main user account i get the notification bar band thing pop up and it says: "This app can't open" contact your system administrator about fixing/repairing it

It does this for ever single app except store and pc settings. Whenever i try to open the store and pc settings app they try to go full screen then just minimize.

This behavior happens on every account except the main one i used to set up the operating system

What can i do to solve this?

did you connected to domain environment? if yes, contact your system administrator, maybe metro apps restricted to another user or guest outside domain environment

A.) Fixing the app store:

1. Open registry editor typing regedit.exe from a command line.
2. Browse to the registry key at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\Local Settings\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\appmodel\repository\packages.
3. Right click on the packages key and bring up the Permissions tab.
4. Click the Advanced button located at the bottom right corner.
5. Check to see the account name that shows up as the Owner (this is the first line of text on the advanced security settings dialog for the packages key). It should say SYSTEM.  (For me this showed the built-in local Administrators group)
6. If it is any other account, click on the Change button next to it.
7. Type SYSTEM in the select user dialog. If Multiple Names Found window comes up, select the row for SYSTEM.
8. Click OK to the dialogs and close them all.
9. Run from admin command prompt:     Powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

B.) Fixing all modern apps:

1. Run from admin PowerShell:

((Get-ChildItem "HKLM:SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\InboxApplications") | Get-ItemProperty).Path | Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode

    * When I ran this the black X persisted until after the next step and reboot.  But trying to start an app gives me a new message and a link to the store.

C.) Fixing 3rd party apps:

1. Delete the regkey:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Appx\AppxAllUserStore\[UserSID] 

          You can find your SID by going to an elevated command prompt and typing

                        wmic useraccount get name,sid

D.) Restart.  After a reboot the apps still showed the black X for a minute or so, but it soon cleared up on its own and all apps seemed to be working again.  I was also able to update the apps from the app store once signing in with a Microsoft account
