Windows 10: Problems playing Windows system sounds after cleaning system using Razer Cortex

Hello, I've been having issues with Windows system sounds ever since I cleaned my system using Razer Cortex about a week ago. I cannot individually play any of the system sounds, but I CAN get a few of them to play whenever I do the things they're associated with. Less than 10% of the sounds play normally without any issues in this case. All sound presets are affected by this and this has also affected some other apps like discord.

No System Notification Sounds Play After Update To Windows 1809.

I looked here and have compared the desktop settings to the laptops, all are set the same, which are the defaults since I have never tweaked any of these settings on any systems.

These settings are the ones that didn't make any difference when I changed them.

Volume Mixer shows me volume controls for Device and Applications, both which are set to their maximum. However the behaviour I see on the desktop machine when sliding the "Applications" volume slider is that it does not make that "beeping" sound at any point. It only beeps when I slide the "Device" volume slider, unlike what happens on the laptops.

When I am in Settings > System > Sound > I even ran the troubleshooting steps which is able to play "Test Sounds" just fine, but the system notification sounds still won't play. However when I finish the troubleshooting steps, I see this notification with a yellow exclamation mark, which may point to the issue, but am unsure how.
