Application installed from appstore are not starting

Hello,

I just clean installed MacOS High Sierra on my MBP 13"(late-2013) and all the application installed from AppStore are not starting. If I start the application from Terminal, I receive:

$ /Applications/Microsoft\ Remote\ Desktop.app/Contents/MacOS/Microsoft\ Remote\ Desktop

Killed: 9

If I install same application from dmg file is working fine.

I also observed that in About this Mac -> System Report -> Application, applications that are not starting have value Unknown in column "Obtained from".

How can I solve this problem?

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 10.13

It certainly is a pain.

Possible fix for App Store apps do not install or working properly…

Should be able to block Apple's OCSP IP in the Hosts file...

More details I just found!

In console, I found:

/Applications/Speedtest.app/Contents/MacOS/Speedtest signature not valid: -2147409652
mac_vnode_check_signature: /Applications/Speedtest.app/Contents/MacOS/Speedtest: code signature validation failed fatally: When validating /Applications/Speedtest.app/Contents/MacOS/Speedtest:
  The code contains a Team ID, but validating its signature failed.
Please check your system log.

Also, using:

$ sudo codesign --deep -fs - /Applications/Speedtest.app
/Applications/Speedtest.app: replacing existing signature

it helps but need to run above command for each application installed from AppStore ... which is stupid!
