Microsoft has addressed this issue immediately by providing the users with the KB4016635 (OS Build 14393.970) update which was supposed to get rid of the issue. If you haven’t changed any settings on your computer, the update should have been installed automatically a while ago but if you don’t receive automatic updates for your Windows OS and if you don’t want to receive them, you can install this update by using the Update Catalog.

Solution 2: Reinstall the App Which Won’t Update Properly
This may seem like an unrealistic solution but people have suggested doing this if you are able to backup the files you were working on in the app. If the app does not produce any files itself, you can reinstall it freely but make sure you backup the files you were working on in the case of another app.
Note: If, for some reason, you are not able to uninstall the app properly, you can use the method below to uninstall it using PowerShell. If some app has gone corrupt for some reason, it might be difficult to remove it using conventional methods but this one should provide results.
