  1. Can't log in or download apps in Windows Store


    I'd click the icon next to the search bar and click Sign In. Afterwards i'd select my account and then gray window would appear then disappear and that's it. Nothing else would happen. Same thing happens when i tried downloading apps. I'd hit Get App then the gray window would appear then disappear and the page would just reload itself. I've recently also been having an issue where Microsoft Edge would close immediately close after i open it. Not sure if the issues are related. Here's an image of what occurs:

  2. in my pc cant download any apps or games in store

    Start by running the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

    Open Start > Settings > Update & security > Troubleshoot

    Scroll down to the bottom

    Click Windows Store Apps

    Click Run the troubleshooter

    When complete try opening the Store again.

    Also check if the Store works in another user account.

    Press Windows key + R

    Type: wsreset.exe

    Hit Enter

    Do this a couple times then try launching the Store again.

    Your Antivirus might be interfering with the Store, try disabling it 'temporarily' to see if it launches.

    Check Windows Update and install the latest updates. Sometimes Microsoft releases infrastructure fixes for the Store through Windows Update.

    You can also try resetting the store app using the following instructions:

    https://www.groovypost.com/howto/reset-windows-...

    If that does not work, try resetting the software distribution folder:

    Before carrying out this procedure, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don't, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive.
    Also, you should restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet. The easiest way to do it is to enable Airplane mode from the Action Center - Windows key + X.

    1. Press Windows Key + X on the keyboard and then select “Command Prompt (Admin)” from the menu.

    2. Stop the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. To do this, type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop cryptSvc

    net stop bits

    net stop msiserver

    3. Now rename the SoftwareDistribution and Catroot2 folder. You can do this by typing the following commands in the Command Prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.

    ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old

    ren C:\Windows\System32\catroot2 Catroot2.old

    4. Now, let’s restart the BITS, Cryptographic, MSI Installer and the Windows Update Services. Typethe following commands in the Command Prompt for this. Press the ENTER key after you type each command.

    net start wuauserv

    net start cryptSvc

    net start bits

    net start msiserver

    5. Type Exit in the Command Prompt to close it and then restart the computer.

    Hello,

    Try resetting Store app. Run following command in administrative Windows PowerShell:

    Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Let us know if this helps!
