Windows 10: I can't open any Microsoft related app

I suddenly started getting this "The specified user does not have a valid profile" error on multiple Microsoft related apps such as: Xbox, Minecraft, Snipping Tool, Smartphone-Link and Photos... I can't even crop the screenshots i posted because of my denied access to Photos. I tried a couple methods I've seen online but nothing worked for me so far. Any suggestions/solutions you might have would be much appreciated.

Mail app will not open on 10041.

Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
