It sounds to me like some files are either missing or corrupted. A full reset may be the solution but you could also try sfc /scannow first. I'm thinking that may not be enough.

I just found the problem. I had the apps initially installed on a 128gb SDXC card, but when it had a problem, I reinstalled them directly on C drive, but the corrupt Windows Apps folder on SD card was somehow affecting the Store apps on C drive. I finally removed the card and everything is fine now. Going to format the card now. Thanks again

That makes sense. I don't remember anything about installing apps on the SD card but that has been a fairly common issue when there are other unexplained app issues.

I think apps on SD card is only a problem if the card is to formatted to NTFS ( is that the correct name?). I had the same problem on both my HP Envy note 8 and SP3, but since I formatted the cards, most of my apps are on them and behaving well.
