    the following is a proposed work around for a "bug" in M$ MS Solitaire, clock timing issue. I did not complete step two, as it warned, I might be more vulnerable to malware. Plus if this were really bad I would not know how to undo, (accept sys restore, macrium).

    I use KIS, MBAM, uBlock Origin, Https everywhere,Spywareblaster

    I s this a no no!

    Looks like a fairly standard 'reinstall' all AppX packages troubleshooting step.
    I'd say you might be able to skip step 2 unless it's been messed with intentionally before, as that is the part making you 'more vulnerable to malware'
    If you do end up needing to do it in order to get step 3 to run properly you can always set it back as the last step and instead do something like:
    1) Launch PowerShell
    2) Get-ExecutionPolicy
    3) Set-ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted
    4) Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    5) Set-ExecutionPolicy WhateverOutputOf2Was
