APPs in windows 10 no longer able to add or update

My apps section of windows 10 no longer works, wont update or add an app. I ran SFC and got these errors in the CBS.log file.  I am wondering should I run Tweaking Directory permissions fix and if so should I run that for the administrators account ?

Boggin:
Whenever I have problems with Win 10 I'll perform a repair install.

However, the current ISO to create install media includes the Creators update which hasn't been without problems for some.

For me, chkdsk /f no longer runs after the reboot, but if you don't have install media then you can create one by using the Download tool now button at https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10 after reading how to create the media.

Well Id love to do a repair install but cant as per the picture attached windows is telling me that windows may be installed in an unsupported directory ?

Boggin:
I got that when I tried to do a repair install of 1703.15063.138 with an earlier Win 10 ISO but it works fine with an up to date one for me.

Which version of Win 10 are you using and which ISO are you trying the repair install with ?

Go Start - type winver - press enter and that will tell you the version you are now on.

If you don't mind reinstalling your programs, you could use the Reset this PC option.

I want to thank you for your help, Went to Microsoft and downloaded the newest windows.  That worked and the upgrade fixed the apps.
I think that error that windows is in an unsupported directory is very vague. Apparently if your version installed is the same as the version you are doing a upgrade repair on
you get that message.  I also found that you will get that message if you change the paths of any of the default directories.  So have all your Documents, or downloads on drive D:
with windows on C: would also give that message.  There was a list of  thing such as installing it in another language etc... crazy that they just dont tell you what the problem is ?


Anyway Thanks
