Answer

This happened to me after I updated my Lenovo's drivers and had issues with driver power states. I was able to perform a restore by doing the following:

1. Boot into command line mode (search Advanced Startup in windows settings)


2. C:


3. cd C:\Program Files


4. attrib WindowsApps -h this removed the hidden attribute


5. rename WindowsApps WindowsApps-renamed


6. exit


7. restore the system to the desired restore point


8. reboot normally or continue to windows

When the restore is complete, a previous version of WindowsApps will have been restored.

To then go back and delete WindowsApps-renamed:

1. win+x


2. a to open an Administrator Command Prompt


3. cd C:\Program Files


4. takeown /f WindowsApps-renamed


5. rmdir WindowsApps-renamed /S
