When I try to open the windows store, or any app installed through it, the app will open for a brief moment before immediately crashing. Programs like Discord, Spotify, Chrome, and the File Explorer work fine, however Steam will not load the store/library/etc after I log in.
There are also 2 other users who have the same issue except they are also unable to access almost all of the functions of the taskbar (can only launch pinned apps) and have no access to the start menu. The taskbar/start menu function normally on my user and the administrator account.
It also feels like the pc generally runs slower (or maybe I ran out of patience).
Everything functions properly while the PC is in Safe Mode. I also tried creating a new user to see if it was an issue with the existing user profiles. The new user had the same problems.
I have tried an SFC scan (which detected & repaired corrupted files but did not fix my issue), a DISM scan which came back fine, ran CHKDSK, used PowerShell to reset Windows Store apps, and made sure all the users had permissions to access the WindowsApps folder. None of this has worked.
I am currently using the newest version of Windows 10 and all of my drivers are up to date.
I greatly appreciate any help.
