Strange Graphical Bug That Makes MS Store + Certain Apps Open but with UI Blank Except for Text but when I hover over it and move my mouse in certain areas it sometimes shows it for a second then goes back again.
So I'm not sure when this started but can't be more than a month and a half ago, maybe after I installed MSEdgeRedirect, basically makes the windows programs that force default to Edge browser redirect to a browser of your choosing, however, it was working fine after the install so I don't know if that could be the reason why because it had to have happened sometime afterward and not to mention I uninstalled it and I am still having this problem! It is hard to explain my problem so let me show you (check out the YouTube Video below), it's basically a visual bug where some/all Windows 10 Microsoft Store apps will open but be blank mostly, even the little news section on the taskbar. Also, it's odd because when I hover over certain parts they sort of like change graphics or sometimes adjust back to normal but flickering, it's very hard to explain so I'll put a link to a YouTube video I uploaded showing it. Yes, I have tried to reset/repair the programs, did not work. Also, I really do not want to reset/reinstall windows if at all possible, that would be the worst-case scenario and honestly, if it does come down to it then I will most likely not even do it and just leave it as is just because I'm not too sure how to reinstall/reset properly to where my PC will be back to 100% the same as it was before the reinstall (drivers/specific settings) even though I have my computer backed up on several things like my external SSD as well as on my OneDrive, I feel like even with those I won't have the same exact replica of my PC as before doing it, especially the drivers and the specific settings I have for gaming and such. Thanks so much for any help, I'm desperate!
Some other things I've messed with in the past month and a half: Messing with registry things, with Services and Startup tabs in Task Manager, with my Nvidia Control Panel (DLDSR, Resolution Changes, Refresh Rate Changes,etc) some options were changed through a program called NVIDIA profile inspector because it shows more advanced settings that you could play around with, also installed MSI Afterburner and did a tiny bit of overclocking but then decided to just auto-tune overclock it with the Nvidia Auto-Tune Performance option. One really major thing I did that gave me many problems is messing with Security permissions for certain folders that I should not have just to delete some folders I thought were unnecessary so that might be a clue but I could not tell you which ones because I also reverted them as far as I know by using Powershell and a nice little program that somebody made specifically for the problem I had which was the Microsoft Store completely not opening and giving me an error instead of starting along with all other preinstalled Windows Apps like Photos, Mail, News, etc, even after doing wsreset it did not fix but using his Powershell command tool that he made did. So many things that I did in the past month and a half so it's super hard to figure out what the heck could've caused it since I did not notice it until a couple of days ago.
Thanks for any help, I'm praying somebody has come across this problem before.
