error 0x80070003 when trying to install basic windows 10 apps (calculator, pictures)

[derder1167]

It happenned since I upgraded to the major windows 10 update then downgraded because it was causing problems with my video drivers. when I click on install, it downloads a few megabytes, then tries to install the app, and finally it tells me that the intallation failed. I've tried everything in the windows support section and now I'm clueless to what should I do. Can anyone help me?

Please pass on your full systems specs.

If you've tried out sfc / scannow and a system restore have you tried a repair install with your updates in place?

Last solution would be to go for a reinstall :/

Run this:

If that doesn't fix it.

Reinstall your original OS, then do Win 10.

It wasn't Win 10 causing problems with your video drivers, it was your video drivers causing problems with Win 10.

After you have 10 installed, go through all your drivers and update them if they have a Win 10 edition. The graphics driver is the most important.

If it's a laptop get them from the manufacturer, if it's a desktop get them from the manufacturer of each individual part.
