Two options:

1. Find your installed W10 build version on uupdump.net. Select the build, and Browse Files -> "Explorer". Download and install the...

It's your sysprep. I don't know what really happened, but something trashed the XML between lines 175 and 178.

Since there's a serious integrity issue, I would start over with a clean image and...

The error log calls out the specific reason:

So basically the Store team has re-invented a self-extracting EXE sideloader for UWP apps that contains all the dependencies packages in one file? Just like how Dell or HP's crapware apps are...

Those are temporary Word save files. If they're too old, then it's likely they're not linked to recent documents you've opened or edited. Even if you could inspect the file contents, you would...

Long story short, before everyone jumps in with their weird timeserver reset scripts and nonsense:

"C:\ProgramData\WindowsTask" doesn't appear to be a legitimate Windows folder. So this file is probably suspect. You might want to check if any other files exist in that folder.

Sorry. This hack of changing your language to English (World) is ineffective. All it does is break the post-install process so no pinned Apps appear on your Start Menu. No software is actually...
