    Windows Store appearing in search box but not working


    A couple of weeks I wanted to use the windows store but I had an error that apps installation would result in an error y search for a solution here in the community and I found that I should reset the windows store going to the app in the settings. I did so but now when I search for the Microsoft Store in the search box and click in it nothing happened, not even an error.

    Also windows store dont appear under "apps" in configuration.

    I have tried doing the following:

    • admin Powershell Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"} result in error.
    • wsreset does nothing.
    • windows store troubleshooting result in a error of windows cannot access the specified path.
    • admin PowerShell Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$$_.InstallLocationAppXManifest.xml”} also result in error.
    • DISM scan and restore does nothing.
