Hey, Ethan!
Unfortunately, I haven't found any solution.
My guess is that some system files got lost while I ran a clean-up with some utility programs (such as Glary Utilities 5 or Dell SupportAssist). Or even maybe after uninstalling a program, I really don't know.
In any case, I ran the windows corruption check but nothing was found. 😛

otaviomayrink Thanks Otavio. I can't think of any changes I've made to my own system (Surface Book 2), other than regular Microsoft updates. Will keep you posted if something changes!
