I'm having an issue now with the platform where suddenly it started not launching any apps whatsoever.
It doesn't matter the app - it will not start any apps, nor the updater or the get apps interface.
What can I do here?

From time to time I have the same problem.
PortableApps platform doesn't start unless directly launching:
"\PortableApps\PortableApps.com\PortableAppsPlatform.exe"Running Apps from the menu doesn't work, neither does checking for updates or adding additional programs.
Launching a program directly from their PortableApps folder works normal.
After rebooting everything works normal again. (until the next time the same thing happens again)
I'm running PortableApps platform on Windows 10 Pro (from inside OneDrive)
