    My problem is when I launch some apps e.g. Mail, I can't synchronize it. Or when I launch the Bing Weather app I can't click anything. It worked everything a couple of weeks, but I have this problem a couple of days now. It happend earlier, but then it worked a couple of days, but now it's not working again.

    (Sorry for my bad english)

    run the following in a Command Window to re-register the Store app:
    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

    can help you but is just a try
    dunno if this is for your problem but was for several in the past

    I had the same problem. After looking everywhere I still found nothing to help. So just as a last resort, I did a system refresh and everything was solved.

    Uninstall the broken apps, goto C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and delete anything left over from them

    Then reinstall them

    I fixed XBOX Games and Mail doing that when a reinstall was not enough

    I think I know what was the problem. I used a watermark remover and because of that some apps didn't workd. Now I restored the files and it's working.
