Snap opens then closes right away after recent update on a Windows computer



Snap opens then closes right away after recent update on a Windows computer.


After upgrading to the 1.6 Version of Snap on a Windows computer the Snap App will open then close immediately.
 
There is a dependence that was added and the 2015 C++ redistributable needs to be installed.
Installing the re-distributable will fix the issue.

Choose the X86 version.

  1.  Enter DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth (note the space before each "/").  (Note: This step may take a few minutes to start and up to 30 minutes to run and complete.)
  2. Enter sfc /scannow (note the space between "sfc" and "/").

Media Creation Tool

If none of the above methods have worked, you will need to use the Microsoft Media Creation Tool. 

  1. You can find this tool online at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10
  2. Once at the site, select Download tool now.  If given a choice to run or save, choose save.
  3. Once the tool completes downloading, please run it.
  4. The first screen that pops up may state SmartScreen can't be reached right now.  Choose Run
  5. A new screen will appear that says Getting a few things ready.  This may take a few minutes but on the next screen Accept the license terms.  Getting a few things ready will appear again.
  6. Choose Upgrade this PC now then select Next and let Windows complete the upgrade.
  7. If this does not resolve the issue, please follow steps 1-5 again.  When you get to step 6 choose to create installation media instead of upgrading.  You will need a USB flash drive and then follow the steps to create an installer on the USB drive.  When complete, reboot and run Windows Upgrade from the USB drive.
