    Microsoft store locked to private store, despite group policy and regedit saying otherwise


    Hi All,


    I am using Windows 10 Education Edition on my personal PC, using a license granted through the University of Calgary. Annoyingly, the Microsoft Store only displays apps from the University of Calgary's suggested apps. This is a problem, because the sound-card for my motherboard requires Nahimic 3, which can only be installed on the Microsoft store.


    As I'm an administrator on my computer, I thought that changing the group policy to "disabled" for "Only display the private store..." would fix the problem, and it did a few weeks ago. However today when I started my PC I am no longer able to access the full Microsoft store. I've tried setting the associated group policy both under User Configuration and Computer Configuration. I've also tried setting the associated registry key "RequirePrivateStore" to 0, and have restarted the computer several times since then.


    Has anyone else had this issue, or know how to correct it?

    Microsoft Store India Hacked

    Microsoft Store's Indian site was compromised, by a hacker group that calls itself "Evil Shadow Team". The site's landing page was briefly taken over by the group, which gained access to the user database. The group then replaced the front-page with its signature, that warned that an "unsafe system will be baptized." The outrageous part of this episode is that the group claimed Microsoft was storing the user database in plain text, which contains usernames, email addresses, and passwords. The site is now offline, the company is probably back in control. Microsoft Store was started in India to discourage piracy and offer genuine copies of Windows, Office, Visual Studio, at the lowest possible prices; Xbox consoles and accessories; and Microsoft hardware (peripherals).

    Group Policy


    Don't know what the "store being broken" means.
    My Win10 Home and Win10 Pro have the Group Policy function, press the Windows key and R to get the Run box, type gpedit.msc and see if it opens.
