    Microsoft Store Updates Not Working


    Recently, the Microsoft Store's update part, which keeps all the Store apps up to date started misbehaving. Every time I click "Get updates", it lists the exact same list of 28 apps every single time. Once it gets to updating the Store itself, the Store closes, but doesn't reopen, and I assume it closes itself completely. When I check for updates again, it lists the 28 apps again, as if the whole previous process didn't even happen. Even when I remove the Store from the update queue, the same issue persists, as if those apps don't even get updated whatsoever.


    I tried using WSReset, the Settings app's own Store Apps troubleshooter all it gave me was try turning UAC on, even though all I did was tone it down so no dumb darkening the desktop, so it is still technically on, and resetting Windows Update. None worked, and some tiles on the Start Menu look like they are stuck in an update cycle.


    I'd LOVE to know how to solve this issue, without resetting my PC.

    I'm using the latest stable version of Windows 10 Pro, version 20H2, build 19042.804.

    :)

    Microsoft Store not working

    Hi Yash,

    File corruption is a possible reason why Microsoft Store is not working.

    To resolve this issue, follow the steps below:

    • Install any uninstalled updates to Windows. Go to Settings >
      Update & Security > Check for Updates.
    • If Microsoft Store still doesn't launch, try these steps:
    • Re-register Microsoft Store:
      • Open Settings.
      • Go to Apps & features.
      • Select Store.
      • Click Advanced options.
      • Click the Reset button.
      • Click Reset again to confirm.
    • Reset the Microsoft Store cache:
      • Press Windows + R keys to open the run command box.
      • Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft Store and sign in.

    Let us know if you need further assistance.
