It is a risk you will have to take.
As far as I know, there's no harm until you open applications without first reactivating Google Play Services.
At the end of the day, it is this or reset to factory settings. 😓

Hi, we'd request you follow the below steps:
1. Clear system cache.
2 . Disable/ re-enable the apps.
3. Try the same under safe mode:
Hold the power button for 5 seconds => When the screen flashes with option => Press & hold power option => You will get an option to restart in safe mode
4. If still you face the issue
factory reset your phone after taking a full backup : https://www.asus.com/support/FAQ/1006346/

I was also experiencing this issue, it is due to trichrome library not updated, try this, clear data of play store, then connect with wifi, now open play store, it will automatically update trichrome library
If this is not working, then manually download trichrome library from apkmirror, then install, then update web view, then update chrome

Hello again, @safal and @ramans059!
It just happened to me and the solution was exactly to erase the data from Google Play Store and Google Play Services. You can erase, restart the device and enter the store that Chrome and WebView will be able to receive the pending update.
No error occurred during or after the procedure, you both can do it without fear.
