  1. Microsoft/Windows Store Not Working After Resetting Windows


    I previously had a problem with different apps not opening, which after troubleshooting, I resorted to resetting Windows. This made things worse as the Windows Store app no longer opens at all. I've reset Windows again from .iso image which did not fix the problem. Following the advice given to othersand from other various sites, I have attempted the following with no avail:

    • Ran wsreset.exe - "Needs new app to open" message.
    • Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter - "Store cache damaged".
    • Windows updated, anti-virus turned off, reboot - no effect.
    • Added new user and checked their Store - broken as well.
    • Reinstall the store on PowerShell with Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} - Access denied.
    • Reset the software distribution as per previously linked advice then reattempted PowerShell reinstallation - access still denied.
    • Tried reinstalling all apps via PowerShell - access denied
    • Changed ownership of C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Packages to admin then Users and tried all previous steps again - no effect.

    Couldn't find anything else what to do so any new suggestions would be very welcome!

    :)

    Windows 10 Tweaks

    As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

    • Launch the Store from your Start menu.
    • Click the user icon next to the search box.
    • Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
    • Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
    • When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”

    Microsoft Details Reset and Refresh Features Built Into Windows 8

    InfoWorld isn't so impressed with this feature and their article makes for interesting reading. Me? I'm not so negative about it as I think it sounds useful.

    So, what do you think of it?
