Settings App Manager Crashing Regardless of Root?

[NobodyByChoice]

TLDR: App Manager crashes Settings on selection in all scenarios tried, both rooted and unrooted. Solutions or explanations?

So it's basically as described there. App Manager is crashing on a new Moto G4 XT1625 no matter what I do. I am at a loss. It crashes while rooted with Magisk, crashes when Magisk is uninstalled, crashes when I do a fresh flash of the Motorola stock ROM. I've even rooted and gone into Titanium Backup and ensured nothing is frozen, and it crashes.

I can long press apps on the drawer to reach individual app settings, but I cannot get into the App Manager itself. I've tried clearing the cache via this entry into the settings app info, and I've cleared the cache via TWRP. Neither has seemed to affect the crash either.

The only common denominator I can think of between all attempts is that the bootloader is obviously unlocked, but I can't connect that to the crash in my head.

At a loss here - any ideas? What am I missing, or what else might I try? Thanks for any education.

got this crash as well on my xt1622, TWRP, marshmallow, rooted
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT REASON that cause this is because I deleted some unused (india) apps after rooting. Then the app manager messed up.
I just flashed the stock Nougat yesterday (https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g4/help/xt1622-nougat-root-questions-t3701145) - clean, no root, no TWRP, no modifications. Then, the app manager worked as expected. I doubt this will help as you stated that you already tried to flash the stock rom. You might have some other problem there.

Indeed I have, which makes it all the more confusing as to what could remain unchanged and still affect it. Although, it is something that you encountered it under the same general environment (twrp, marshmellow, rooted). I disabled a few apps when I first rooted, and assumed that was the cause as you saw, but no idea why the flashing did not fix it...
