Windows 10: Can't access Store or run OneNote and other Start Menu tiles

For several days now coinciding I believe with the 1909 update, I have not been able to access the Microsoft Store, or run some of the tiled apps.


It started when I wasn't able to run OneNote, which I use daily. It wouldn't sync. I uninstalled it, then went to the Store to reinstall it. But I couldn't open Store. It just timed out, or gave the error message 0x80070426.


I uninstalled the 1909 update but no help. Then I reinstalled it and everything is up to date Version 1909, build 18363.657. Still no help.


I'm using, and have always used, a Local Account. I tried changing to my Microsoft Account multiple times, but I can't do it. It times out.


I have tried all of the solutions I found online, including resetting the Store app, troubleshooting, checking time/date/region, wsreset.exe.


So these things don't work:

• Store
• Weather app Home, but other tabs work, and so does the News app

We have 3 other computers in the office, all using Local Accounts, none of which have applied the 1909 update yet. We use local accounts so we can freely share files across the network. I am afraid to update any of those computers because of this problem.


How can I regain access to the Store, and to OneNote?


Thanks

how do i reset the start menu in windows 10 to not show tiles?

A few days ago, my friends Win10 computer stopped showing his desktop and now only shows the tiles (he wants to see the default list of programs, not any tiles).

Clicking on the Windows key or "start menu" doesn't change anything. I stepped him through some online suggestions (including Settings/Start/Use-start-full-screen and making sure Settings/Table-mode was not engaged) but they don't work.

I've also compared his settings (Start/Use-start-full... and Table-mode) to my Win10 machine and they are the same.

Assistance/suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

How to make Store tile live again in Start menu

I did that, too. Nothing.
I tried this on laptop, when I set Show products on tile to OFF, it is silent, dead, when I set it back to ON, it starts working.
On PC, whatever I choose, it is not working, just stayed dead.
Any new suggestion.

 

Windows 10 Start Menu all apps / tiles missing


So I woke my computer up from sleep last night and this is what I was welcomed with:




All of a sudden my start menu had no apps listed and no live tiles to speak of. So I did my googleing and I found this microsoft answer page: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...0-b988cd6da49a

I tried every step in their. After all said and done, I got installed programs to show up, but the live tiles that usually show to the right did not come back. I was ok with that, thinking I would work on this today and find a solution to that problem.

I just woke up the computer again from sleep and the start menu is blank AGAIN. Before this started happening last night, I have not installed any new software nor has windows ran any updates.

I'm at a loss. I tried system recovery and to roll back to a few days prior, but I keep getting an error after recovery is attempted stating that windows recovery wasn't able to fully complete due to a certain file (i can retry recovery and post picture of error if needed).

So any suggestions on whats my next step? I thought maybe I had a malware issue, but II have avast and malware antibytes installed and they showed no hits when the scans where run.

Any suggestions or guidance is greatly appreciated. Hope you all have a Great Turkey Day!

PS, I have to work today from 4pm to 6am, so If I do not reply right away I apologize.
