Since Twitter, Inc. discontinued the support for the UWP version of Windows 10 app and traded it for the similar global model (Progressive Web App), some issues emerged. We’re still talking about a small number of affected users, as the app is basically the wrapper for the web-based Twitter version and it’s working fine most of the time. However, some users are unable to open the Twitter app and access their feed.
We enlisted some solutions, so make sure to check them out down below. Hopefully, they’ll help you address the issue at hand.
Twitter app for Windows 10 won’t start [FIX]
1: Reset app settings
Firstly, like any other UWP app, including the pre-installed ones, you can reset all stored cache and settings. By doing so, there’s a good chance you’ll fix the bug. If it’s the bug we’re looking at and that’s the reason why the Twitter for Windows 10 won’t open.
Here’s how to reset the app‘s settings on Windows 10:
If the issue persists, we suggest following the further steps.
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.
It should be a just a new browser-like window with the Twitter feed in it (what PWA basically is). Seemingly, that’s not the case as it. And the next obvious step in addressing this particular problem is reinstallation.
Expert Tip: Some PC issues are hard to tackle, especially when it comes to corrupted repositories or missing Windows files. If you are having troubles fixing an error, your system may be partially broken. We recommend installing Restoro, a tool that will scan your machine and identify what the fault is.

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.
Here’s how to run it in a few simple steps:
4: Use Twitter alternatives for the time being
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.
There are various alternatives (some better and some worse), and we suggest trying them out. Hopefully, you won’t give up and stick with the in-browser Twitter version.
Some of the best-rated ones are:
They are wrappers rather than the full-on UWP apps, but that’s sadly the state of Microsoft Store and the availability of the competitive alternatives is what it is. We hope this was a helpful read and you found the solution (or workaround) for your problem. Don’t forget to share with us how the troubleshooting goes or provide additional helpful information.
