Windows 10: Reset Windows, suddenly can't use Microsoft Store

So, I was experiencing a problem with Windows where no text would show up at all, possibly due to a faulty setting that resulted from me changing permissions to folders earlier that day. I seem to have fixed it by resetting Windows, only this brings about a new issue, where I can't use Windows Store (when I try to open it, it almost immediately closes). I have looked up possible solutions and have tried the following:

1. Going into the apps section of Settings and resetting the app
2. Running PowerShell as administrator and attempting to reinstall in the following two ways:

Reinstalling Windows Store individually using `Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.23.0_x

64__8wekyb3d8bbwe" -DisableDevelopmentMode`


Reinstalling Windows Store by running the command to install all WIndows defaults apps `Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}`


Can anyone help me? It's frustrating and I'm starting to think that doing a clean wipe when possible may be the only viable solution at this point.
