Ive had these problems for so long now that its just so annoying, and ive tried almost anything i could do to fix it. Whats wrong is that whenever i try to open up an app or game that i have from the microsoft store, it either doesnt open at all or gives me the file system error i said in the title. Apps like xbox game bar, minecraft windows 10 edition, mail, and the xbox app are some of the ones that wont work. And on top of that, whenever i try to open up any file like a video or a photo/ jpeg, it gives me the same "file system error" that i always get, i really need help on this.

it seems to be a common error for the photos app
edit: removed sfc/dism after seeing you tried that last time i answered.

have you tried the windows update troubleshooter, its on settings/update & security/troubleshoot
additional troubleshooters
should be in top section of next page

there is also a windows store apps troubleshooter on same page. Keep running them until you get no corrections.
