Windows 10: Windows update for 15-Aug-2020 broke my Microsoft Store

After applying the updates today, my Microsoft Store App broke, along with many other apps, including Microsoft Photos, Intel Graphics Control Panel, and my ASUS Support. Ive tried clearing the cache from the Windows Power Shell, performing the repairs given here https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us...ndows-10/a1bd57d1-4bfe-4f9d-91c2-0a87c596f983, and even tried to reinstall the App Store as per here https://www.windowslifestyle.com/store-app-in-windows-10/. None of this works. While it fixed my Microsoft 365 problems, it has left me without other functionality. Please help.

Microsoft withdraws bad Windows 7 update that broke future Windows 7 updates

"Unfortunately, this apparently simple change has had severe consequences for some users of Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1, with users reporting that Windows Update, drivers from both Nvidia and AMD, and some third-party software including Virtual Box are all unable to install correctly. The error code 0x8004FF91 seems to be a common finding."

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
