Hi joshwils,

Have you tried the DISM command:

Dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Run the above command and then check to see if issue insists.

Further, Uninstall the app, and then run the following command to reinstall all the built-in apps:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

If is still can't work, please take use of Windows 10 install media, on the install welcome page, click the pepair your computer option.

Regards
