    Microsoft Photo app missing and Microsoft Store unable to launch

    I have 2 x Windows 10 system.

    Both recently unable to open any jpg file, error show "Package could not be registered".

    I have done the below steps but still can't find Photos installed.

    - run wsreset.exe

    - reset Microsoft Photo

    - re-registered Microsoft Photo via powershell command

    I also noticed Microsoft Store also can't launch, nothing happen when click.

    I did the below steps.

    - reset Microsoft Store (but for almost 2 hrs still showing small circles like still running reset)

    I try to install latest Windows update 10 1909, but show failed.

    Any solution please?

    Thanks.
