Need help with “application not been provisioned” error.

Question

Hello Microsoft Community,

I recently turned on my computer and i am unable to open windows settings, or use the search bar the only windows apps i can use is task manager and CMD. I have tried many attempts to fix this but have had no success. My SCF won’t stop repeated that I need a restart but when I do it shows the same message. My dism doesn’t help. My powershell doesn’t open through task manager (it acts like my windows settings logo. I can click and it highlights as if it opened but doesn’t actually), and when I use pc health check it gives me the “app has not been provision” error for all three categories. I can’t even factory reset my pc. Please help.:)

                              Thank you!
