Games constantly crashing

I have 4 games installed.
Overwatch is installed from Battle.net launcher and is on my 2 TB Samsung 990 pro m.2 C: drive.
Crackdown 3 is installed from the Microsoft store. It is installed on my removable Samsung 960 512GB m.2 enclosure
Redfall is installed from Steam. And is also on the enclosure.

And finally The Division 2 is installed from Steam. Also installed on the enclosure.

And all 4 games crash. The crashing hasn't been this severe before. Especially with Overwatch. I could go hours without any issues. None of the game launchers are set to start up on reboot.

Gaming Services and the Minecraft Launcher Will Not Install

Error code: 0x80070490

Device: Brand new Acer Nitro 17.

I'm trying to install the Minecraft Launcher. When I click install and go to the Library page of the Windows Store I see it's trying to install both the MC Launcher and also Gaming Services. Both fail to install and give the above error code.

Things I've tried:
1) Windows Update - I've installed all updates, including optional updates.

2) Resetting the Gaming Services app via the Apps menu. Gaming Services IS NOT IN THE LIST.

3) Resetting the Windows Store per this suggestion (Redirecting)

4) wsreset.exe

While resetting the Windows Store I get a number of errors. I've pasted the results of step 2.3 here: Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D02, The package could - Pastebin.com

While resetting the Windows Store and reinstalling Gaming Services (step 3.2 and 3.3 in the suggestion above)
Remove-Item : Cannot find path 'HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\GamingServices' because it does not exist.
