Windows 10: Microsoft Store and Xbox App aren't working, and it's driving me nuts!

It's been going on for a while, it'd work perfectly than all of a sudden two weeks ago it'd stop responding firstly with Microsoft. I can't download or uninstall anything. I tried resetting the cache overnight and it was still spinning. And for Xbox it'd keep on flashing the logo than go black. I've tried all the solutions, checked all the forums, and none of those work. and the only option that I can do is reset my whole PC Which I'm not keen on because I just did Just about a month ago because of the same problem I'm facing right now.

The Microsoft Store, and the Xbox app doesn't work!

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand that you are unable to launch Microsoft Store, Xbox app and GameBar. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



However, please let us know:

• Do you receive any error message?
  
• Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
  
• Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
  winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
  Enter.
  

Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



For issues with launching Microsoft Store, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

Microsoft Store doesn't launch.



Method 1: Store app troubleshooter



I would suggest you to run the Store app troubleshooter and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open Settings.
   
2. Click on Update & Security and select Troubleshoot from the left pane.
   
3. Scroll down, click on Windows Store apps and select Run the troubleshooter.
   
4. Follow the on-screen instructions.
   

Method 2: Re-register apps



If Store app troubleshooter doesn’t work, I would suggest you to try re-registering the apps using PowerShell. Refer the steps mentioned below:

1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
   Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Paste the following command and press Enter:
   Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   
3. Once the process is complete, restart the computer and check.
   

Method 3: New user account



If re-registering the apps didn’t work, try creating a new user account and check if the issue persists. Refer the article
Create
a local user or administrator account in Windows 10



Let us know the results.
