Windows 10: I reset Win 10 and lost my photos app, videos app, Windows Store, cortana, and worst of...

So yesterday I was having problems with Windows because I couldn't use the start menu or search functions after changing permissions because I couldn't create new files, so I did a system reset (keeping personal files), moved all my apps back over from a backup, but now I've seemingly lost all my default Windows apps, including Office, Photos, Videos, Cortana, etc.

That wouldn't be the end of the world since I can redownload most of those, except I also lost my clipboard history function (win+v) even though I have it set to turn on. This function is invaluable to my work and I need to get it back. I've looked all over the internet for a solution, but most answers are for specific apps and there's basically nothing on getting the clipboard "reinstalled".

I've also been getting this error message everytime I turn on my computer, this popped up even before my reset when my start menu stopped working

And yes I've done the powershell app restore method (Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | For each app: Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml)

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance.

win store, photos ans videos apps

I don't understand why win 10 is so complicated.

I can't open win store, photos ans videos apps. I tried many things I saw on the community forum:

1. powershell command (lot of cmds I saw on the forum like : Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

or others cmd

2. the reset on "Apps & features" window

3. install win 10 updates

4. reinstall completely win 10 with the iso files process



but still the same thing, I cant open win store, photos ans videos apps. What should I do? Should I move on Mac?
