  1. Microsoft Store Crashes when Searching with "\" on Windows 11


    Searching with "\" might crash the Store. I'm already updated to the latest version of Microsoft Store. I'm not sure why this happen. Seems it's trying to access it as a file path. Sometimes a standalone backslash can crash the Store while sometimes can't. Adding some words before the backslash can certainly crash the Store such as "edge\". I found this bug when searching for Edge and unintentionally typed a "\".

  2. Windows 10 Store crashing continuously when searching

    Hello Ben,



    Thank you for posting on Microsoft Community.



    To resolve this issue let us try the following steps:




    • Press Windows Key + R to open
      Run window.

    • Type wsreset.exe and press OK.

    • This will clear the Windows Store cache and the Windows Store would open automatically. Check if you are able to search in the store.


    If the above does not work, then try the following step:




    • Open Cortana and type in the search keyword: Troubleshooting.

    • On the search results click on Troubleshooting at the top to open the Control Panel.

    • Click on View All in the left hand panel.

    • Click on Windows Store Apps.

    • Follow the on-screens steps to reset the store apps.


    Hope the above steps help to resolve the issue.



    Thank you.
