Windows 10: File System Error (-2147219200)

I can't open my start menu, and I can't seem to access my taskbar, or many of my apps. When I tried to open one of my apps this popped up "file system error (-2147219200)". Any advice on this?

:)

 

Ms-windows-storeurgeCaches File system error (-2147219200)

Windows Store apps not working since updated in January.

Each time i diagnose with appdiagnostics it comes up with same message code -

Ms-windows-storeurgeCaches

File system error (-2147219200)

nothing works in tool bar at bottom. all apps disabled on start up.

Need to know how to reset this issue and get back to normal with appstore working correctly.

 

File system error (-2147219200)


This morning, I downloaded a few files to my computer and when I tried to open them, there was a long pause and then the message "File system error (-2147219200)". The computer, an ASUS laptop running Windows 10, had been working normally until then.

I ran "check" on both the C: and D: logical drives (they are the same physical drive) and all was well. I went to try to open a command prompt so that I could run "chkdsk /r /f" but the WindowsKey+X didn't produce any results let alone the menu offering me a command prompt that I was expecting. I tried to type cmd in the Cortana search box but couldn't type in there. I tried to reboot the computer but the Windows icon doesn't react when I click on it.

I began to think that I had some kind of malware so spent most of the day running a full MalwareBytes scan which apparently found nothing. (After over 5 hours it hadn't found any infections but then it rebooted and presumably ran the rootkit scans I'd asked for while I was eating dinner and then rebooted again. I'm not sure where to find its final report.)

I have no idea what's going on or why but I'd love to get that computer working normally again - I'm on a different one now - so that I can get back to the development work I've been wanting to do all day long.

Can anyone suggest a way to diagnose my problem definitively and solve it?
