    Hi, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard, a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, my timezone is UTC +8.

    I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to assist, Since you have done a repair and still have an issue, in this case, kindly follow the steps below:

    Method 1. Repair built-in apps such as Microsoft Edge:

    Press the Windows key + X then select Windows Powershell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin)

    Copy, paste, and enter the command below:

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Then hit Enter, once the process is done, restart the PC and check.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Kindly follow the steps from this link:

    Let me know how it goes and I hope that helps.

    Bernard
