    I recently changed some permissions in windowsapps in order to delete certain files lenovo vantage since the app wasnt installing properly. Tried to restore the permissions to default but was unable to do so since I was denied access. Ever since the microsoft store has stopped functioning and wont open at all. Ttied resetting my pc, but after windows installation the microsoft store app seems to be missing in my pc. Can anyone help me

    Windows store app not working. Windowsapps folder ruined

    WindowsApp folder hidden and no admin rights

    Hi MichaelRuth1

    The WindowsApps folder is in your C:\Program Files folder, the WindowsApps folder is the most protected folder on a Windows 10 PC, it contains all Apps and games from the Microsoft Store and it is protected to ensure the integrity of those Apps and Games

    Changing permissions to access that folder, generally corrupts Windows and all Apps will stop working . . .

    The apps stored in that folder will not slow your PC down, unless those are running in the background of Windows 10, which you can check using the steps below

    Turn off all unnecessary Background Apps

    Open the Settings App

    Go to Privacy - Background Apps

    Turn off any App you do not need running in the background

    Restart your PC
