Windows 10: Microsoft Store and Various MS Apps Not Working at all After Win 10 Pro Re-Install

I recently had to re-install Win10 Pro THREE times! It is finally working...BUT... now most of the resident MS apps like Snip, Camera, Recorder, etc are not working at all and I can't even access the MS Store. I can't find any fixes for that and I do not want to reinstall Win 10 again. Advice appreciated. Thanks.

Cannot activate Win10 Pro after Microsoft Store app purchase

Hello guys,

My laptop came pre-installed with Win10 Home 64bit and I recently purchased a Win 10/11 Pro licence from the Microsoft Store app. Unfortunately, having some issues activating the digital licence for Win10 Pro.

Here is the situation:

• Logged into Microsoft account used for the purchase (also received the email receipt of the purchase)
• Already connected to stable internet

What I tried so far:

Entering the Win10 Pro generic key:



Received error 0x800700005:





Clicking Close returned another error 0xC004F034:





Clicking Troubleshoot re-activated my Win10 Home so still not on Pro.

Thanks for any help.


[FIXED]

Win 10 Pro suddenly became Win 10 Ent from MS Store app:

Sources:

• Windows 10 Home to Pro Update became Enterprise and won't activate - Microsoft Q&A
• Bought Win 10 Pro, but laptop now says Win 10 Enterprise. - Microsoft Community

You sir, are a star. Thank you so much!

As a final attempt, I followed the last article you sent where downgrading Enterprise to Pro simply meant re-entering the Generic Pro Key again. And it worked! +reps for you <3

In summary, here was the rundown of events in case someone else can find this useful:

1. Buy Win Pro 10/11 digital licence from Microsoft Store app (no product key, licence bound to MS account)
2. 'Buy' button becomes 'Install' in MS Store, click Install (this will result to an error code, do not panic)
3. Reboot device (let Windows updates finish during reboot)
4. Windows magically reboots to a de-activated Win 10 Enterprise (do not panic)
5. Change product key into generic Win 10 Pro key: VK7JG-NPHTM-C97JM-9MPGT-3V66T (this effectively downgrades the 'stray' Enterprise to Pro)

Voila!

Thread marked solved. Cheers!

 

Win 10 Microsoft App Store Missing

Hi, I'm having a huge issue with a clients laptop and none of the forums , YouTube tutorials or Microsoft support has been able to help me with this problem .
The Microsoft store App has completely disappeared from they're Laptop , other Microsoft store apps are still there but they don't run.

I have tired to use the methods mentioned on theses websites ( only posting a few since all of them say the same things)

This is the one ill use as reference: Solved: Microsoft Store App missing in Windows 10 version 2004

In the above mentioned site it gave a few ways to fix it ( none worked ) , i'll list all the ones i tried and try and give as much information about the results as possible.
In order :
1 . Run Trouble Shooter for "Windows Store Apps" , no problems detected .
2 . Reset Windows Store cache using Win+R . gives you the "you'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store" popup box
3 . Re-Register Microsoft Store using power shell (look at reference link to see what code was used , results in the posted snapshot)





4 . Run DISM command in elevated command prompt (again look at reference for commands used) , "check health" showed component store as repairable,
but following commands resulted in nothing but 16 hours of waiting with no results
5 . Manually Repair Microsoft Store , downloaded the file given (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=619547)
ran the first command step 5. as written on site (results image ) . tried skipping step 5. and went straight to step 6. (results in image)




i uploaded a system info file ("msinfo32.nfo") at filehosting.org you can view it at below link .
(this is a download link for the nfo file) https://www.filehosting.org/file/det...7/msinfo32.nfo

Also . . . . unfortunately i don't know when the problem started or if it was caused after a update , app install or something like that . All i know about what happened before i was contacted is what they told me , apparently the Microsoft store kept giving a error code when trying to update or connect to account ( they conveniently don't remember the code though) . i have searched all they're apps from top to bottom and i cant find any trace of the MS store , all that remains are the games and apps they downloaded from the store before it started with it's problems .

I also ask that any info or help you can give to be posted below (obviously) and if you guys can possibly also send it to my personnel email L: kobuscoetsee78@gmail.com ( this account was created with my clients details , i don't use my personnel details on my clients devices ever! . any info you guys can send to my own email will help me a lot , since i might then be able to start making any necessary preparations before getting back to them )
