Unable to open Ubuntu Software

I am new to Ubuntu and using it for my work. Now I have a problem in Ubuntu. Some time ago the Ubuntu Software showed me the updates and I updated it but since I updated it the Ubuntu Software does not open. Whenever I open the Ubuntu software, the loading icon appears at the top of the screen and closes automatically.

I read a lot of documentation about this but none of it worked for me and now I'm very confused.

When installing Ubuntu, I did not connect to the Internet to download the necessary packages, now I think that some of my problems (for example, not playing movies, not installing some programs in the terminal and not running Software installer) are because of this. How can I solve these problems?

I have read many sources and tried the suggested commands but unfortunately they didn't work.

Even with this command, Ubuntu software still won't open for me

Basic starting point I look for in a question is details of the software stack being used; the question mentions Ubuntu, but not what Ubuntu product, what release etc. Is this a Ubuntu Server? Ubuntu Desktop? Ubuntu Core? (Ubuntu Software would imply desktop, but we don't know for sure & have no idea of release). If disk is full, apps can refused to open on desktop systems so was sufficient disk space allocated as per documentation?

Use this command to list snaps:

sudo snap list

the output like this:

My system has core18 and doesn't remove. snapd doesn't remove for me: `error: cannot remove "snapd": snap "snapd" is not removalble: remove all other snaps first` When I try to run the installation commands, I get the following error: `error: cannot install "snap-store": cannot query the store for updates: got unexpected HTTP status code 408 via POST to "https://api.snapcraft.io/v2/snaps/refresh"` Now the packages are removed for me and won't install

`sudo snap list` , remove one by one , if `error: cannot remove` try other snap remov. let `snapd` at the end.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
