Windows 10: Broken journal file posted this on Feedback Hub

I was writing notes on Journal in class and I noticed an error message saying the journal couldn't save. I wrote a bit more on there before closing and reopening the program, but I was unable to reopen the journal I was working on, and it showed me another error message. I do recall the first error message saying something about read-something, so I tried going into properties and toggling this one "read-only" option off. Even if I had it on or off, I'd get an error message. If I had read-only toggled off, it would display an error message saying it had "unrecoverable errors". If I toggled it

Feedback Hub broken: unending circling dots when I try to log feedback

I seem to have broken the Feedback Hub - I can't log any feedback ( I just get circling dots which never end).





This is on a PC where I've just clean-installed 1709 in the last few days. The problem happens on all accounts on the machine (one local, one local admin, one MS Account admin).

Other aspects of the Hub (eg. displaying news on latest Insider builds) seem to work OK, but I can't log anything.

So far I've tried

1. Going to the list of All Apps in Settings, selecting Advanced Options for the app and then Reset
2. Uninstalling the app using Powershell (using this Tutorial) and re-installing
3. Using the Store Apps Troubleshooter

Incidentally the thing I was trying to log was high CPU usage by Desktop Windows Manager - not sure if it could be related or indicative of another problem?

Any ideas on what I can try next?
