Windows 10: Microsoft Store, Calculator, and other apps won't open. Can you tell me if there is a fix...

Microsoft Store, Calculator, Get Help, and other apps in Windows 10 won't open. This has been going on for about a year now. I've tried many things to fix this, even reloading Windows 10, but all to no avail... Can you tell me if there is a fix, or perhaps show me how to fix it myself?

Microsoft apps and Store won't open and won't install

Hey guys, 2/3 days ago I resetted my msi laptop, but after the reset I can't open Microsoft apps anymore, like the calculator, photos, alarms & clock, weather, Microsoft store, etc. (Microsoft edge works just fine tho)

I already tried numerous 'solutions' from these pages:

But I don't know anymore what to do, anyone familiar with this? Or anyone can help me out?

I attached a video in the attachted zip file

Windows version: windows 10 version 1909 build 18363.720

I fixed it with installing a clean version of windows.

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.
