There can be many reasons why your preinstalled Microsoft Apps won’t open and by doing the below methods one of them will hopefully resolve the issue.
Steps To Fixing Apps Not Launching In Windows 10:

- Open Windows Start menu and search and open PowerShell as an administrator
- Type in the following command and press enter: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
4. Check System Files For Any Corrupted Files:
