  1. Windows Store and store apps won't open after update


    Yesterday I noticed Windows updates were failing so I set out to get updated to the latest version. That eventually led me to updating via the MediaCreationTool provided my Microsoft. Since updating I have not been able to open MS Store or any MS Store app. The app will occasionally flash up for a few seconds and then crash, other times it won't respond at all.


    I don't know what version I was at before the update but now I am at Windows 10 Version 2004 Build 19041.421.


    I've seen this issue several times before because these issues are unacceptably common with WS apps and I've tried a ton of things to resolve it:


    -Tried all the steps recommended here WSReset, Powershell commands to reset WS apps, resetting WS in settings, etc.

    -Tried adding and logging in with a local admin account

    -Tried adding and logging in with a different admin Microsoft account

    -Ran SFC and DISM and rebooted

    -Restoring to a System Restore point before the issue occurred

    -Removing my device association to my Microsoft account and store in my Microsoft account settings


    And I'm sure I'm missing some others.


    When doing WSReset I get the following error after it hangs for a bit:

    Windows Store and store apps won't open after update 73c8a264-6cfd-4426-a096-d58097a47a8a?upload=true.png


    Pretty ridiculous for all of this to happen just because of an update. Can anyone help me fix this?

    :)

  2. Solitaire in Windows Store won't open.

    Hi,

    There are a lot of possible reasons why you are experiencing this issue and getting this error "Windows Store Cache may be damaged". To address your concern, we suggest that you clear
    the Store Cache by following the steps below:

    • Press the Win+R keys to open the Run dialog.
    • Type WSReset.exe, and click/tap on OK.

      Note: The WSReset tool resets the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.
    • The Store and a command prompt will now open without any message. The command prompt will automatically close when the Store cache has been reset.

    After clearing the Store Cache, we recommend that you run the troubleshooter for Windows apps using this

    link
    .

    Kindly update us after performing the steps above.
