Windows 10: I have a working MS OOB True HA print Solution - Looking to get MS Native support Not VM HA

I am a server engineer for the Government Health department and a print service SME for our entire state,I have a true High availability print solution for Microsoft printing using Microsoft Operating system Out Of Box server tools / services, the solution is superior to the current VM High availability solution.The VM HA solution is fault tolerant and still a single point of failureThe OOB solution I have is a Active / Passive print server with NO downtime including patching, has no additional costs - in fact saves thousands per cluster instance, 100% uptime excluding environmental failure or

MS photos app has stopped working

The Microsoft photos app has stopped working since the last windows update in late October 2017. It doesn't open at all. I get this message "This app can't open. Check the windows store for more info about photos...copy to clipboard or close" I have
done so many troubleshooting steps! I have scanned (sfc), reset app, ran a troubleshoot for the store, uninstall then install again, reinstall from the store, checked windows update, did an inplace upgrade....there are more troubleshooting steps but frankly,
too many to remember at this point. I've exhausted all the troubleshooting available in the MS site. My last resort is to reset or reinstall windows which can be time consuming which I am willing to do but there are NO GUARANTEES it will solve the issue.
I was told by a Microsoft tech support agent that the inplace upgrade will definitely correct the issue but it didn't. The problem persists and it looks like this problem has been floating around for several years with the same troubleshooting suggestions
that do not solve the problem. I'm so disappointed and frustrated because I prefer the MS photos app over others. Did October's update change some settings that might be causing this problem? Help! OL

(windows 10 home version 10.0.16299 build 16299; x64-based PC)

I just noticed that under "other updates" 3 have failed. I will list them here:

9P1SWVRL6FKD-Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.6 (failed-0x8024000b)

9N38V762FHPD-Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.1.6 (failed-0x8024000b)

9NBLGGH3FRZM-Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 (failed-0x8024000b)

I have run a windows update troubleshooting and clicked on fix. It didn't work. Photos app is still not working. Think any of these failed windows updates have anything to do with the issues I'm having with the MS photos app?
