Microsoft Windows store not working - Microsoft Community

Microsoft Windows store not working

About a month ago, while my windows store was updating various apps, it crashed unexpectedly. After the crash, ive been unable to open up my windows store, the xbox app, or even various other windows apps, such as GetHelp, the calculator app, the clock app, media player, etc. I open them, the window pops up for a moment, then closes.

I've looked all over the internet for days on end, trying every method I could find, including dozens on various Microsoft Community posts, including but not limited to:

  • Repairing/Resetting the app in windows settings

  • Making sure my windows is up to date

  • Resetting the windows store cache

  • Re-registering and reinstalling the Microsoft Store app in Powershell

  • Preforming an in-place upgrade on Windows 10

  • Upgrading to Windows 11

  • Uninstalling the Microsoft store app, uninstalling the xbox app, reinstalling the xbox app and running it, to see if it prompts reinstalling the Microsoft store

  • Running a command in powershell to restore all windows apps

  • performing sfc /scannow

  • leaving it for a few weeks to see if an update restores it

I would love to be able to use alot of the key programs on my windows device, as well as actually get to use my Xbox Gamepass subscription as i was able to before this stopped working.

Appreciate anyone who has anyway to help, thanks!
