Windows 10: Windows 10 Store won't open

Recently I installed some driver updates (about a week ago) and since then my PC has been acting weird. First, some of my programs started saying "____ has stopped working" when I try to open them. Second, whenever I try to log into my PC, I hit enter to most past the clock screen, and it just shows a blank lock screen. I have to wait up to an hour before it shows me the password login. Also windows Store app and microsoft Edge will attempt to open, but then close immediately. When I go into settings (which opens just fine) as soon as I go into Updates and System, the app closes. Help! Ran a virus detector, and none were found, and aside from all that, my PC has never run faster! That is the strange thing! My PC usually takes a few seconds once I log in, but not since these driver updates! I honestly do not understand what is wrong with my PC, but I hope you guys can help. Thanks!

Windows 10 Tweaks

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK
