Surface 3 - Wireless Display Media Viewer stuck on installation after getting Creators Update

I updated to the Creator's Update today, and now I've got a half-installed (?) app called "Wireless Display Media Viewer" stuck on my apps list. It looks like it's stuck in installation purgatory, and when I click on it, it just opens a blank black window. There is no option to uninstall, and a Microsoft tech actually tried to uninstall it through PowerShell with no success. Has this happened to anyone else?

The problem was already solved. It took a system reset to do the trick. The device is a Surface 3, and it was fully up to date, so I don't think it was a driver. I wish I knew what the real problem was, because it's a pain in the butt remembering what was installed and all that stuff after a reset.
