Windows 10: The Microsoft Store and Search crashes.

If I attempt to purchase or download an app on the Microsoft Store the program will just crash. If I attempt to use the search function in the start bar it will open a box above it, then crash. If I try to use the search inside file explorer, I click on it, after a few seconds it then turns grey, then after a few more seconds the search bar returns. I have tried to repair and reset the Microsoft Store in Apps & Features in Settings.
