    Was such a simple fix. Simply turned off Microsoft Teams in startup menu. Errors gone! I did however dump all my legacy stuff. Was needed to be done anyway. I have been running every other software I have installed for the past couple of hours and all run perfectly. Seems MS wont exactly say what these DLLs are for, and I wish they were related to one or two seftware installations, but alas, no help. MS techs like to say "reinstall clean" but when you are dealing with a corporate wide deployment on newer hardware systems, and need to keep downtime to a minimum, it is not preactical. A BOT can tell me "reinstall clean." Anyway, I am not a programmer so I do not know what these dlls affect or what they do, but it is apparemntly nothing I use. I may do some research into them later. Just completed a small update and it went fine. If a programmer can tell me what these dlls are for, it would be helpful. But anyway thanks to all, I needed to clean house anyway. Some of those softwares were so old they stunk! Used to use adobe a lot, now just use for pictures and video. Thanks to all!!

I wouldn't reinstall Windows as some have suggested (easier to reinstall and reset the apps themselves.) You will run into this problem more than once in your lifetime I'm sure...

 

1.) Start Powershell -> Start Menu -> Run -> taskmgr -> File -> Run new Task -> %SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -> Select "Create this task with administrative privileges." -> Click OK.

 

2.) Copy/Paste the following into Powershell:

 

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope LocalMachine -Force
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"};
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"};
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Win32WebViewHost | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"};
Get-AppxPackage -allusers MicrosoftTeams | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"};
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00 | Reset-AppxPackage;
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00.UWPDesktop | Reset-AppxPackage;
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.Win32WebViewHost | Reset-AppxPackage;
Get-AppxPackage -allusers MicrosoftTeams | Reset-AppxPackage;

 

3.) Next run this...

 

./sc config EventLog start= auto;./sc config UsoSvc start= auto;./sc config wuauserv start= auto;./net start EventLog;./net start UsoSvc;./net start wuauserv;
DISM /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth;

 

4.) Run Windows Update, and then finalize the updates / remove superseded components:

 

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

 

NOTE: Most of the new updates fix bugs related to the apps themselves...
