Windows 10: Microsoft Store Stuck on Spinning Circle with app crashes after clicking "Downloads & Updates"

I have a serious Windows 10 problem on the Microsoft Store.I was going to check if there are any app updates via the Microsoft Store, but was unable to even check at all thanks to the forever loading of the spinning circle. When I minimize, or after leaving on the spinning circle for a few moments, the app would freeze until it auto-closes crashes.I tried resetting the Microsoft Store, but ZERO luck; shows the same spinning circle.Why am I seeing this issue and are there any other solutions?Here's a screenshot below:

After update: Black screen with spinning loading circle

I just like to report that I have tried the method suggested and it worked for me!

The Windows 10 1607 Update has been failing since Sep 2016. It was stuck at the spinning circle screen. Every time I just let it restored to the previous version. Until lately did I start looking for solution. I applied the fix from Microsoft and verified that the registry key was removed, but it was still occurring.

Yesterday, after reading this thread, I tried the update again, and at the spinning circle screen where it was stuck, I unplugged my wireless mouse dongle and the update process continued.

Thank you all!
