Windows 10: No MS Update/Apps Working

Hi, I am having the issue where if I go to to Windows update I get "We couldn't connect to the update service. We'll try again later, or you can check now. If it still doesn't work, make sure you're connected to the Internet." I tried @Brink's solution to reset the service with no luck. If I go to advanced options in Windows Update and toggle "give me updates for other Windows products when I check for updates" on it toggles itself back off. If I go to MS store and check for updates to apps it usually will either update or say everything is up to date but does neither. If I try to open Forza 3 or 4 the game crashes at the load screen where I think it checks for updates to the game (not sure, it is the screen with the version number and crashes while loading the game). Any help would be appreciated.

Ran sfc/scannow with no problems detected.
Ran Windows Update troubleshooter. First result gave me error: 0x800705B4
Second run gave me info that "Bits Service" was fixed.
Third run showed no problem.
Still getting same result from Win Update.

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)

The tutorials provided are just a list of troubleshooting steps. Use only the steps which apply to you.

Since none of the troubleshooting steps here worked, I'd suggest you do a Clean install.

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?
