Windows 10: Calculator App & Various Others Not Opening Anymore?

Hello,I have desktop PC running Windows 10 Home and since about two days ago the calculator app on my PC no longer opens when i click to open it. Also there is a solid black line underneath the calculator app in the windows menu bar which wasn't there before. This same black line now appears on the itunes, photos & skype applications. Another thing which just started happening today is when I try and open any image it comes up with an error that says "package could not be registered"This all started happening around two to three days ago, if anyone can kindly offer some assistance on this

Hello NestorR_WPG,

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I want to apologize if you encountered this issue. I understand you have a problem with Calculator. Did you mean the Calculator app?

**Run the troubleshooter:

Select the Start button, and then select Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.

**Reset the Microsoft Store cache

Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

Note

A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

Press Start then search Apps and Features

Search Calculator app on the list

Click then select Advanced options

Click Terminate then Reset

Run the Calculator app again

If it doesn't work, Select Calculator App in Apps and Features then Click Uninstall

Open Microsoft Store then search for Calculator App

Click Get and Install

Launch again your Calculator

I hope this helps! Kindly inform me if my suggestions does not solve the problem. I can provide another solution for you to try.
