Now cannot open Photos, Groove, Calculator, and I'm sure a bunch of other apps....
Any help would be appreciated.

Open Start, type: powershell
Right click PowerShell
Click Run as administrator
Type the following command then hit Enter, exit PowerShell then restart, then try updating through the Store again.
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($\_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Check if you can launch the Microsoft Store, then update the apps.
If this does not work, I recommend you attempt a repair upgrade:
Solved this problem
I change permission rules to folder
C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.Windows.Photos_2018.18051.17710.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe (but its only my version PhotographyApp and you need finde correct folder name in your system log events) im add my User to owners of this foldier
I can confirm that this method worked for me too, something had corrupted with the permissions for the WindowsApp folder for 'Users' and it asked me to delete and re-create.
It's a bit fiddly to do, but removing the permissions and setting them again worked great for me, Photos now works again!
I'll try to make a video tutorial if I can
Tried all the possibilities still issue not fixed, Just Microsoft photos not working.

After trying literally every suggestion...
Here it is how i got it fixed.
I installed - iobit unistaller 4.7 free - (probably any similar unistaller will work).
I went at windows apps section and remove photos app (along with some other windows apps i never used) . Also make sure you have ticked at settings the Automatically remove residual files option.
note: windows photos app was about 310mb to be unistalled.
After finished unistalling i went back on Windows store , re-installed the photo app and only this time it worked as it should.
In our case, updating the Photos app solved this.
Open the Store app, select Downloads and Updates from upper right menu, then Get Updates.
