Windows 10 Built-In Apps doesn't work

Hello,

I've ran into a problem for quite some time now, I believe it's because of one of the automatic Windows Updates.

Basically, 80% of all the built-in Windows 10 applications doesn't work anymore. They show up as tiles in the Start taskbar, but they have "!" icons next to them. Whenever I try to launch any of them, they just flicker and close or drop out an error that this application could not be opened and I should check Windows Store for more information. And quite frankly, I'm not sure how to fix this... I've seen a few workarounds posted all over the internet, but writting random command lines in Power Shell seems unsucessfull.

Operating System: Windows 10 Pro
