I have the same problem that apparently many people have, the Windows Store won't start. The icon in the Start Menu is greyed out and has a white circle with an exclamation mark in the lower right. If I try to start it, a window pops up for the blink of an eye and disappears immediately. No error message or anything.
I'm using Windows 10 on a computer that ran Windows 10 from the start (it wasn't updated from an older version, I installed Windows 10 after I got the computer with no OS on it). I'm not sure for how long the problem has been present. I do know it was working like half a year ago, which is when I last needed to install an app from it and I haven't used it ever since.
I have tried the following solutions to no avail:
- Running
wsreset.exe
. It exists with the following error:
- Running this troubleshooter. It says no problems were detected.
- Running this command in an elevated powershell found here:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
(Gives me some cryptic blocks of text in red)
I'm not sure what else I could try. Really tired of this ... well ...
Any help is appreciated. If you need any additional information let me know.
