Windows 10 Metro Apps Close Immediately

Question

Apparently out of the blue, I can't run any metro apps. They open, then close after a few seconds. I tried the fix here but it didn't work. I rarely use metro apps, so I'm not sure when it started. Is there a fix? I have no intentions of re-installing everything.

I checked the event logs, and get this error:

Activation of app Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App failed with error: The remote procedure call failed. See the Microsoft-Windows-TWinUI/Operational log for additional information.

In EventViewer, I looked under Applications and Services Logs->Microsoft->Windows but don't see a TWinUI folder

...I found TWinUI in Services Logs->Microsoft->Windows->Apps and the error there is:

Activation of the app Microsoft.BingWeather_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App for the Windows.Launch contract failed with error: The remote procedure call failed..

Update: Based on a suggestion from another site, I installed the latest DisplayLink driver. This did not help, but when I re-booted, MySql came up with this error:

There was an error subscribing to WMI Events, this may be caused by a security settings misconfiguration on a local or remote machine.

Call was canceled by the message filter. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80010002 (RPC_E_CALL_CANCELED))

Not sure if that's related or just a red herring.

Update: I actually wrote a small app and just loaded it up in Visual Studio and it wouldn't run. I got this error:

I did what it said, but still got that error on next attempt.

Update I'll add one more piece of information before I give up. I booted into safe mode and got this error:

Solution

Finally got the apps working by installing the latest Display Link drivers (7.9M3) released on 2015-10-22 from here: http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/sla.php?fileid=171

You have UAC set at the default levels?

[Admin]

@Ramhound I'm not sure. Will have to check...Yes. It is set to Notify me only when apps try to make changes to my computer (default)

[Admin]

You should check for disk corruption (with chkdsk) and then run an SFC /scannow to ensure system file integrity.

@Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 Thanks. Tried it but with no luck.

[Admin]

This sounds honestly like a group domain problem. Are you connected to a domain?

[Admin]

It sounds to me like your firewall or AV is killing RPC, or you have RPC misconfigured.

[Admin]

@Ramhound No. This is my home office PC.

@Yorik I've tried disabling AV with no luck. I am guessing there is a configuration error, I just don't know how to fix.

Why is this downvoted?

@Dave The first draft was a bit sparse. Downvotes came early. I've been adding info as I try different things.

Thanks, but that didn't work.

Please explain how this would fix the OP's problem (which was caused by an out of date Display Link driver).
