    Windows Store Cache is damaged

    Hi Bill,

    To help you with your concern, we recommend performing Windows Store Reset. Kindly follow the steps below:

    How to Clear Store Cache for Default apps.

    • Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
    • Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.
    Note: The WSReset tool resets the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.

    • The Store and a command prompt will
      now open without any message. The command prompt will automatically close when the Store cache has been reset.

    After performing the steps above, you may also need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

    Let us know how it goes.

    Windows Store Broken - Windows Store cache may be damaged

    Hi,

    Since you already run wsreset.exe, We suggest clearing/deleting the local cache by following these steps:

    • Run Command.
    • Click Users.
    • Select the username that you're using to login on the computer.
    • Click AppData.
    • Select Local.
    • Click on Packages.
    • Select on Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.
    • Click on LocalCache.
    • Delete all files and folders.
    • After you have deleted cache try to open Windows App Store again.

    Get back to us if you need further assistance.

    Windows Store Cache Problems (Windows 10)

    Hi,

    Corrupted Windows Store components are one of the possible reasons why this issue is happening. Let's try resetting Windows Store cache as the administrator. Follow the steps below:

    • Type wsreset.exe in the search box.
    • Right-click wsreset, then select Run as Administrator.
    • Complete the process, then open Windows Store to test.
    If the issue still persists, we recommend following the suggested steps by
    SpiritX MS MVP     on this thread. Follow the steps 1 to 4 and see if it helps.

    Update us with the outcome so we can provide further assistance.
