"The specified user does not have a valid profile" error on apps downloaded from Microsoft Store
I solved the problem by moving the folder with the install files from the WindowsApps (which is hidden by default) into a user folder (e.g. Documents) and start the executable from there.
WindowsApps directory seems to have insufficient permissions for standard users after the OS Release in April . At least ubuntu is now running again without any problem. I am using 1803 Build 17134.1

I also had this problem. Your fix did not work for me. I found the app in the hidden WindwsApps. There was a corrupt/bad permission on that folder that might be part of the problem, but even after I corrected that, it would no work. I tried moving the iTunes like you suggest, but that would not work...
The solution for me was to (1) uninstall iTunes that I attempted to install from the store - that install was messed up and not able to be repaired. Then (2) download iTunes 64 straight from Apple (look close at their page & there is an option to get it straight, vice through the store). Once i got that installer, everything worked fine.
