Did you try to open multiple apps? I believe your system has Windows 8 installed. If you have turned off User Account Control, your Metro apps will not work. You can check if UAC is enabled here:
From the Start Screen, type in Control Panel
Click on Contol Panel tile
Then click on User Accounts
Change User Account Control Settings
In case the issue stll persists, you can Refresh your PC:
Note: Your files and personalization settings won't change. Your PC settings will be changed back to their defaults. Apps from Windows Store will be kept. Apps you installed from discs or websites will be removed. A list of removed apps will be saved on your desktop.
Press Windows key + C on your keyboard to show the Charms bar (If you are using a touchscreen: Touch the right edge of your screen and swipe your finger to the left)
Click Settings
Click Change PC Settings
Click General in the left column
Under Refresh your PC without affecting your files, click Get started
Then follow the instructions that will be provided on the screen to refresh your PC
Keep me posted. Please reply for any further questions.
