So i recently reset my computer about a month or so ago. And part of my setup/configuration i deleted some of the system apps like cortana and edge...

Uknowingly i think i deleted some of the wrong folders... because now none of the windows apps like Paint 3D or the Microsoft store, Photos, Calculator, any windows 10 app... it won't start anymore, it opens stays there for a few seconds and closes... I checked my SystemApps folder under the Windows folder on the C: drive and yep, alot of the folders are missing:

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Windows update

    Hi FlailoftheLord,

    Click your Start Button, type winver and hit Enter

    On the resulting dialog, what version of Windows 10 are you running?

    This sounds like a job for DISM <said in a cartoon hero's voice>

    There is a command line tool called DISM that is designed to scan your system and replace any missing or corrupted system files.   Take a look at this article that explains it all...
