Play Store is not loaded, showing a blank screen instead I am on an LG G4 running on Android 7.0 Nougat.

Whenever I try opening Google Play Store, I only see a blank screen, even after waiting for more than 10 minutes with the screen on:



I have tried the following:


Rebooting 
Clearing cache
Deleting data
Uninstalling updates 
Doing all the above with reboots between.


Yet nothing works, I still get the blank screen.

Is there a way to fix this without going through a factory reset?
Note: this is not a good solution.

I messed around in the account settings of my phone. For some reason, I could not remove my Google account (to re-add it after), but trying to do so seems to have triggered something in the software that got everything working. I believe it had to do with the syncing not working properly as my Gmail and calendar apps weren't working properly either.

So that could be a possible direction in which to search.
