Repair Windows 8 Metro Apps

If there is some problem with any Windows 8 (Metro) apps, should they not be functioning properly. When you click on an app to open it, you find that it simply crashes and closes down, and you get to see the start screen again.



This time however, you will see a small ‘x’ sign on the bottom right side of the Tile, indicating that something is wrong with this particular app.

Click on it again. This time, it will display a This app can’t open message. To exit, you may click on Close. To repair it, you should click on the Go to the Windows Store link.
You will now see a message stating that This app needs to be repaired.
Clicking on Repair will repair the app. Effectively, the app is re-installed with all it default settings intact.
Once the app is repaired, you will see a notification in the top right side stating that the app was installed.
Now if you try to open the app, you will see that it opens properly.
