    Microsoft Store won't open.


    TL;DR - The Microsoft Store won't open, I need help. Some UWP/Windows Universal apps will run, some won't. Weather, News won't run as an example. Hulu which came pseudo pre-installed will run. I ran a second troubleshooter that was provided on this forum and it said "Windows Store cache may be damaged" on my brand new install 3x and that it couldn't fix it.


    Here's what I've done to try to get it working:


    1. I rebooted.

    1. I ran Windows update.

    2. I "terminated" the store app.

    3. I "reset" the store app.

    4. I ran Disk Cleanup and got rid of temporary files.

    5. I ran the troubleshooter. When it failed, I tried to report the feedback and was given the error "The signature is invalid. To register in developer mode, AppxSignature.p7x and AppxBlockMap.xml must be valid or should not be present." I also receive this error in PowerShell on the various plethora of commands I entered, more on that later, because I think this may have something to do with .NET Native and VC libraries.

    6. I ran wsreset.

    7. I ran sfc /scannow

    8. I created a local user account and tried it.

    9. I verified the time, date and region were correct.

    10. I may have cussed a few times.

    11. I have plenty of space left on the hard drive.

    12. I made sure these services were started: Windows License Manager, Background Intelligence Transfer Service, Cryptographic Services, Windows Update and Microsoft Store Install Service". There was no "Windows Store" service.

    13. I tried:

    • Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* Remove-AppxPackage
    • reboot
    • Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml”}

    14. I checked "C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache" and cleared the files there there were no files there though.

    15. I may have cussed a few more times.

    16. I replaced the permissions of all child objects on "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\NetworkList\Profiles"

    17. I reset Windows from the local copy, this didn't work.

    18. I reset Windows with the Cloud download, this didn't work.

    19. I re-installed Windows from a USB thumb drive ISO, and THIS didn't work.

    20. !@#@#%@$^@$^@#$@#4!!!

    Whose got what? I have tried -every single option- I've seen on the Internet. A -clean install- and the store won't start. This can only lead me to believe that logging in with a hotmail account has brought down some persisted borked settings. I'll try anything.


    I also got a lot of .NET Native 2.2 errors in the PowerShell window indicating it wasn't there or the signature was bad.
