Windows 10: Microsoft Store wont launch and neither will its applications

I just recently bought a new windows 11 laptop Dell Inspiron 5310 which I found, could not run Microsoft store nor any applications such as sticky notes and photos. Whenever I try to launch Microsoft store, it opens up and loads before immediately closing itself without any error message.

Microsoft Store won't launch

Hi,

After upgrading to 2004, Microsoft Store will no longer launch.

It will just briefly open then close.

I already tried all options found in the internet when searching for the keyword "Microsoft Store wont start", "Microsoft store not working" to no avail.

Below are a few that was done but did not fix the issue after trying to launch Microsoft Store:

1. Create a new local Admin account
2. Logged in with Domain admin account
3. Reset Microsoft store
4. Checked Date and Time
5. no Proxy
6. Powershell to reinstall MS Store
7. Sfc /scannow
8. disable non Windows services during boot up
9. Edit Registry for MS Store

Any other idea?

Thanks
