Microsoft Store app not launching

Hello,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

1. Since when are you facing this issue?
   
2. Do you get any error code when you try to open the store app?
   
3. Which build version of Windows 10 you are using currently?
   

Refer the article to check
Which Windows operating system am I running?



I suggest you to follow the steps mentioned below and check if that helps.



Method 1:



Reset Microsoft store.

1. Press Windows key + R. This will open
   Run. Alternatively, you can go to Start and search for Run.
   
2. In Run dialog box, type
   wsreset and hit enter.
   

The command will reset the store cache and open the app once the command is complete.



Method 2:



Create a new user account and check. Refer the article to

Unable to download app from Microsoft Store

It seems that this is a Chrome issue. Have you tried resetting Chrome?



On the other hand, we suggest that you open Microsoft Store app instead of opening Store through Chrome. The following are steps on how to open Microsoft Store on Windows 10:

• To open Microsoft Store on Windows 10, select the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar.
• If you don't see the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar, it might have been unpinned. To pin it, select the Start button, type
  Microsoft Store, press and hold (or right-click) Microsoft Store, then choose More > Pin
  to taskbar.
• If Microsoft Store won't launch, get more info at Microsoft Store does
  not launch.

Regards.
