Windows 10: My windows store is gone...

Hi,

I am a programmer and video editor, so I was attempting to optimize my system for performance. I stumbled across this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l6uQR_aBYxg&t=442s


After following said tutorial, I went along my day. I was using windows version 1809, but for security reasons, I decided I wanted to update to 1909. So I did. That's where I encountered the problem. You see, after updating windows, I was stuck on the "welcome screen limbo" and after fixing that, I got into windows. I encountered an issue trying to open a png file. Photos doesn't work, and neither does Movies & TV. On top of that I cannot open the microsoft store. So, I come here as a last resort.

:)

 

Why did the startup window get cleared?

I didn't missed any step, the list was gone and gone , even after using lot of programs the programs were not listed in that list.

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



Sorry for the inconvenience caused to you.

There could be a corruption with the Windows Store. Try restarting the computer once and check.

If the issue persist, I suggest that you reset the Windows Store cache and check.
WSReset.exe is a troubleshooting tool designed to reset the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.
Follow the below steps:

• 
  Press Windows key + R on your keyboard.
  
• 
  Type wsreset.exe and press
  Enter.
  

Hope this will help you. Keep us posted with the status of the issue to assist you further.



Thank you.

 

Windows 10 My Favourites list is gone!

I have loaded up Windows 10 and my favourites list is gone. This is pretty frustrating as I had a big list of favourites built up over a couple of years for work and my own personal browsing. I tried the adive offered by Krishna to Maggie in the forum which
was:

"I suggest you to try the steps below and check if it helps to restore the favourites.

• Click This PC
• Type %userprofile% into the Address bar
• Press Enter on your keyboard
• Right click the Favorites folder
• Click Properties
• Click Previous Versions
• Wait for the list of previous versions to load
• Select a version that was before you lost the files/folders
• Click Restore."

When I got to step 6 my previous versions list showed only today. Surely the loading of Windows 10 has not wiped out my Favourites? What can I do from here?
