    HI

    Check your screen resolution is at 1024x768 or above, also you can check this as well and right click anywhere on the desktop then Personalization > right click on the desktop > Personalization > Taskbar and Navigation, then un-check "Show Windows Store apps on the taskbar" then click ok.

    Reboot and see how the apps open now.
