Some users encounter freezing and crashing issues when opening Windows 10 applications. These are often core apps like Store, Photos, Groove Music, etc. It's frustrating when you constantly face errors while accessing these apps.

Windows 10 Application Freeze and Crash Error
*In this article, we'll take the Photos app as an example of freezing and crashing. You can apply similar steps to other apps.
Step 1: Firstly, open File Explorer, then navigate to the following path with your username on your computer.
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\
Step 2: After accessing the above path, you'll see a folder containing Windows core apps. Now, locate the corresponding app, in this case, Photos, the folder will be named “Microsoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe”
After identifying the folder name, you copy the entire name of the folder mentioned above, then open Notepad and enter the following code:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command '& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage app_folder_name).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}'
Now you replace app_folder_name with the folder name you copied above. So for the Photos app, the code will be replaced with:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command '& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackageMicrosoft.Windows.Photos_8wekyb3d8bbwe).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}'
Step 3: Lastly, you copy the above code snippet into Command Prompt and run it to complete the process.
