  1. Close all open applications, you can keep this browser window open
  2. Open a terminal session (Applications -  Accessories – Terminal)
  3. In the terminal type: 
    sudo apt-get install gnome-app-install --reinstall
  4. Hit enter and watch the gnome-app-install reinstall
  5. All done, your Add/Remove Applications list should be working like new!

Let us know in the comments if this worked for you or if you had any issues.
