Windows 10: Microsoft Photos App not working following a Windows Update on August 11, 2021

Dear ALL,Following a Windows Update on August 11, 2021, my Photos App 2021.21070.22007.0 no longer works. I have tried the Repair Button, which gives a Check indicating something was done but it does not solve the problem. I have also pressed the Repairing button but the message is "We could not reset this App. Try again later". The App was working fine before the Update.Thanks in advance for any ideas,John

:)

 

WINDOWS 10 MICROSOFT PHOTO APP
