Today I decided to uninstall some of the App-Games that were installed on my system.
Among these were (as far as I recall the names) :
- Soda Candy Crush
- Bubble Gems 3
- March of Empires: War of Lords
- and another one whose name I do not recall at all
I uninstalled them regularly via the Remove Apps option.
Nothing else was installed or removed.
Result after the next reboot :
- WLAN not working
- Sound not working (taskbar states that no sound device is present)
- various of the Controllcenter pages won't load or crash (e.g. Settings -> Network and Internet will produce a crashdump file like SystemSettings.exe.9576.dmp)
- Cortana has become unusable (doesn't react to what I type in)
- this component keeps produing crashdumps as well : Microsoft.Photos.exe.7820.dmp
So, what could have been broken by uninstalling these games coming from Microsoft or it's AppStore?
It seems like some central service or component goes rampage or doesn't come up at all due to that any more,
thus preventing me to put my system to any good use.
How to fix this?
