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:
This alone wasn't sufficient for me :(. Needed to do the steps I listed before
Well that makes a very pleasant change. A fix that works first time. Thanks . . . but why do we get these continual problems? I suppoe it will never end.
I would like to know why updates to windows 10 are not properly vetted to make sure there is no damage done to the various apps?
First off I am 70 years old and the items you suggest are like something I am not able to do or understand...
Secondly all I want is to get, as of this writing, 123 photo viewer back and running properly. If there are other apps I don't know yet.
So someone anyone please give me a simple way to resolve this... Oh yeah I uninstalled and downloaded and installed 123; however, it didn't resolve the problem...
Simply put ....

That is something that many people do not understand...I only got that error with the default Windows 10 Photo app. Sadly I don't have any experience with 123 Photo Viewer. I can only confirm that the above steps (which are quite advanced I have to admit that) work for the default Windows 10 Photo App I haven't tried with 123 Photo Viewer nor can I guarantee that the problem will be solved with this app, with the same procedure.
The easiest thing you can try is to open an elevated powershell and use the following command
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
Simply right click on the start symbol and open Windows Powershell (Administrator). Afterwards copy the above command and paste it in the powershell (Strg+C and Strg+V) afterwards press enter. Maybe this already solves your problems. Do you have the exact same error message as the thread starter described?
As the problem already dates back some time I assume an update won't fix it :/. So if this don't work the best suggestion I can give is either contact the app provider directly, maybe they have a better fix, Google after your problem + the app name or simply use another 3rd party app. That's all I can say for the moment. My long procedure from above probably won't even work because it is intended to be used on the default Windows 10 Photo app so there is a high chance that this won't even work in your case. Even if you got the commands replayed correctly.
