Problems in User Account, not appearing in Admin Account (store, sfc)


I have not found anything like my problem on any forum or thread. In my Administrator Account the Windows Store opens and I can install Apps. I expected those same Apps I just installed to appear in my User Account, they did not. Both my Admin and User accounts are Microsoft accounts.

In my User Account my Windows Store will not open (see image 1 below). I tried to use Command Prompt - Admin to run WSReset.exe (see image 2 below).
Then I tried to use a .bat file to re-register Windows Store (guess what? yeah see image 3 below).

I ran SFC /SCANNOW in both my Admin and USER accounts. No problems were found in either account. I noticed SFC ran in less than 30 minutes in my Admin account, but SFC took just over TWO HOURS to run in my User account.

My only idea at this point is to DELETE my User account and reinstall it. I thought I might reach out for other suggestions before doing that.

All replies are appreciated.

 

delete administrator account

Hi,

Method 1. Delete an admin account via Settings

Step 1: Open Settings app by simultaneously pressing Windows logo and I keys on the keyboard.

Step 2: In the Settings app, navigate to Accounts > Family and other accounts. If you are on Enterprise edition of Windows 10, please navigate to Accounts > Other accounts.

Step 3: Here, you can see all admin as well as standard user accounts. As said before, the account which you have currently signed in doesn’t appear in the list here. For instance, if you have two admin accounts “A” and “B” on your PC, you need to sign in to
account “A” to delete admin account “B.”

Step 4: Click on the admin account which you want to delete or remove. Click the Remove button.

Step 5: When you see the following confirmation dialog, click Delete account and data button to delete the account and all data from the account.

Method 2. Delete admin account via Control Panel

Step 1: Open Control Panel. Change View by to Small icons. Click User Accounts.

Step 2: Click Manage another account link to see all user accounts on the PC.

Step 3: Click on the admin account which you want to delete or remove.

Step 4: Click Delete the account link.

Step 5: When you see the following confirmation dialog, either click Delete Files or Keep Files button. If you click the Keep Files button, Windows automatically saves the data of the account in a folder on your current desktop before deleting the account.

Good luck...
