Can't open Pictures or Video files after update - file system error (-2147219196)

Exact same issue here after update this weekend.

All of my pictures have file system error 2147219196 no matter what program I choose to open, default or otherwise.

• Is the issue happening on apps only or is it also happening with programs installed on your computer?

No apps, this is a desktop PC. Pictures include new ones taken today and legacy ones going back decades.

• Have you tested if is this also happening on other user profiles?

Only one profile on my PC, the Admin one

• Are the files that you tried to open launch on other devices such as a different laptop or a mobile device?

Yes open fine on mobile phone. Also these opened for me on this machine perfectly before this last update.

Trying sfc /scannow as a fix... did not fix. Awaiting help please.
