    Windows Store refuses to open

    Hi Kyle,

    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
    I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way we can.

    I suggest that try to re-register Windows Store and check if the issue persist. To do so follow the methods below:

    Method 1:

    • Right click on Start button and select “Command prompt (Admin)
    • Type/paste the command below
    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
    $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest


    • Restart computer and open store.
    Method 2: If that does not help, you may convert the Microsoft account to a Local account and back to Microsoft account and check. To convert the account, you can do the following:

    • Sign in to your Microsoft account on Windows 10.
    • Click Start and then PC settings.
    • Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Disconnect on the right of the screen.
    • Enter your Microsoft account's password, and click on Next.
    • Type in a Username, Password, and Password Hint that you want set for your Local account and click
      Next. Click on Sign out and Finish button.
    In order to switch back, follow these steps:

    • On the newly converted Local account, click Start and then PC Settings.
    • Click Users and accounts and under Your Profile click Connect to a Microsoft account.
    • Enter the Microsoft account ID and Password and click Next.
    • Choose if you want OneDrive as your default file saving location, click Next.
    • Click Switch.

    Hope this information helps
