2: Reinstall the Twitter app

Sometimes, it’s hard to explain why an app from the Windows ecosystem won’t function the way it should. Even though Twitter for Windows 10 is just a mere PWA wrapper (albeit with a slight visual redesign), we can’t say why it works for some and can’t be accessed for others.

3: Run the app troubleshooter

Like we’ve said, the troubleshooting steps are fairly limited when it comes to Windows-native apps. There’s a dedicated built-in troubleshooting tool designed for dealing with problems in Microsoft Store. And, it covers all apps downloaded from the Store, both pre-installed and third-party. Upon running, this tool should check for possible errors and resolve them. And, hopefully, allow you to open the Twitter app again.

In the end, if you’re still unable to fix Twitter, in lack of other troubleshooting actions, we recommend alternatives to the official app. Some might advise resetting Microsoft Store in the PowerShell command-line, but it seems that causes even larger problems. So stay out of it.
