WMUtil is a tool regularly recommended for stuck Outbox messages and corrupt
WM. If you've read other posts, you may have seen references to it. It is
authored by a respected member of this community and is frequently
recommended by others. Although I've not personally needed to use it, it
may help with your WM issues.
