Windows 10: Windows Store Apps Not Updating

Windows Update seems to be working fine.

I might have overlooked changes I've made to AV though. I just recently installed Malwarebytes as a potential replacement to defender (like win10 will let me replace it that easily... lol) but I never really paid attention to when my store issue started, so I have to look at the relation between the two when time permits.

I'll post here after I get the chance to look at it

 

What do you think was the cause of this Brink?, considering that step #2 solved my problem and #1 failed.

Thanks.

 

I have to say that I have Malwarebytes too. Things were working fine even with Malwarebytes installed(literally the same day I installed Windows 10 on July 29th) and all was fine till today. I even exited Malwarebytes as I was testing different methods and so on. So I don't really think that might be the problem but your case could be different.

 

It most likely a corrupted app cache since part 2 sorted it for you.

 

Thank you. Any way to avoid that or it's just random?.

 

I have MBAM installed as well with default settings, and it hasn't caused me any issues so far if it helps.

 

Yeah, and that's what I noticed with MBAM. Disabling or killing it completely didn't change the situation. Also double-checked Windows Update. It's hard to tell since I don't have any system updates to download but it seems to be working fine.

If anything, clearing my store cache via deleting the registry key seems to have caused additional problems. Ever since I did that, when I first login on startup I'm looking at a black screen with a cursor for a couple minutes before it does anything. Startup in general seems to have gotten sluggish, too.

EDIT: And it just started randmoly working again. Aside from the issue that I might have caused trying to fix this, WINDOWS, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN.

 

Glad to know that, now lets both hope we don't have to face that wrath again. If so, Brink is here to the rescue!

 

Thanks Brink! #2 resolved it for me also. *Cool

 

Thanks guys! I've been pulling my hair out since last night to get this solved. #2 did it for me. Nothing else I found on the internet worked. *Biggrin

 

After scouring the Microsoft Answers forums and trying different methods without success, yours is the only one that worked. Thank you!! *Smile

 

I'm glad it could help TheeEdge, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

 

I FIXED THE PROBLEM NOW. One of the first things i did when getting
my laptop was turning off automatic updates. after i saw the problem i
did a system restore, that fixed it temporarily but the problem came
back. but after turning on automatic updates and updating my computer
and restarting the store works fine now.

this might not help everybody, but hopefully some.
