Having an issue with our CM clients on our pooled random MCS desktops;

Software Center can not be loaded. There is a problem loading the required components for Software Center.  You can try launching Software Center at a later time.  If the problem continues, you can contact your helpdesk.

I've tried cracking open our image, "resetting the CM client" ie. uninstall/reinstall. I've tried the "remove all traces of SCCM" https://jamesachambers.com/remove-microsoft-sccm-by-force/, resealing ( then publishing to a test machine catalog... as soon as i update and launch a pooled random catalog. Context: Win10, SCCM 2211. Last changes were VDA 2311 - causation/correlation argument... another DG with 2311 is not impacted SCClient_LC@user.log has the following errors
