Windows 10: Can't play any windows games "The configuration registry database is corrupt".

Hi guys, I re-installed windows last week and redownloaded some of my gamepass games, but I can't launch any of them. I get an error "C:\Program File\WindowsApps\PrivateDivision.TheOuterWorldsWindows10_1.0.36...\TheOuterWorlds.exe The configuration registry database is corrupt."


This configuration registry database is corrupt error happens with all the games I try to launch. I tried deleting the games, redownloading and reinstalling but it still doesn't work. I'v tried many different things:


1) Updating windows (it's up to date)

2) Running the windows troubleshooting tool, doesn't fix it

3) Follow this for system checker tool and no problems are found:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-gb/help/929833/use-the-system-file-checker-tool-to-repair-missing-or-corrupted-system

4) I'v tried resetting the windows store and other games.


I don't know what to do, any help? Thanks!

'the configuration registry database is corrupt'

Hello,

I am unable to open any of my Microsoft Office apps (i.e. Microsoft Word, PowerPoint and Excel).

When I do try to open, for example for Microsoft Word, a message appears reading:

The configuration registry database is corrupt

When I try to open Microsoft PowerPoint, a different message appears:

This app can't open

Check the Windows store for more info about PowerPoint

I have tried troubleshooting Windows update and it has detected a problem problems:

Potential Windows Update Database error detected

Windows Update component must be repaired

Check for pending restart

For the database error it has suggested uninstalling and reinstalling updates,

but I am unsure on how to go about this or even if it would work.

Further, I have looked at the Windows Update setting to see if there are some pending updates.

There are two:

1. Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809
2. 2018-10 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4100347)

The Feature update to Windows 10, version 1809 keeps on installing from 0-100% again and again.

The 2018-10 Update for Windows 10 Version 1803 for x64-based Systems (KB4100347) status is Pending restart, and has been like that for a while.

I will really appreciate your help.

Many thanks.
