Windows 10: Windows Store auto close after opening

This is exactly what I've done this morning after 2 failed attempt (the upgrade was stuck @ 71% for 1hours), searched on the net for a solution about that, and it finally worked ! It repair windows store and reinstalled mail & calendar, but left me with thoses errors messages whenever i try to add my accounts. Now after i made the things in task scheduler, even windows store doesnt open anymore. I really dont get all this. Seems like with microsoft, every step put you in front of new problems. That's why I'm really pissed off.

 

I can understand. Are you using a 3rd party firewall or AV perchance(it shouldn't make a difference as many people are but, troubleshooting is taking in as many variables as one can).

 

I had AVG free, but I uninstalled it before the upgrade, didn't reinstall it atm.

 

Ok I'm stumped now*Confused sorry.

 

Haha, so am I *Smile Don't be sorry, not your fault!

Have a nice day!

PS : Avg don't want to install, seems like I have a new problem in sight ! Good news.

 

2 things you can try:

1. Make a new account and see if that works (didn't for me).

2. If that doesn't work you need to copy the Store and it's pre-req's to C:\Program Files\WindowsApps from a working Windows system and then install them again. This did work for me.

Steps to do this are (if you don't have another PC around)

• 1. Install Windows 10 to a VM
• 2. Run Windows update on the VM.
• 3. Copy the following files from a place that works (the VM) to your C drive:
  • a. Microsoft.WindowsStore*
  • b. It's pre-req's (Microsoft.Net.* and Microsoft.VCLIBS.*)
• 4. Install it again with powershell Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\<PackageFullName>" –DisableDevelopmentMode. (where <PackageFullName> is something like Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.925.10.0.....etc)
  It will tell you if you forgot a pre-req - if so just copy the missing one and try again (they are listed in the xml anyway)..

Hi halasz !

So it turns out that all I had to do is just giving full access to ALL APPLICATIONS PACKAGE for the WindowsApps folder and everything in it, and now Windows Store, Weather is working again.

For the error message when I click on Google account, I had to do the same for the "Packages" folder and everything in it. It's located in C:\Users\YourUser\AppData

Now everything is up & running !

Thank you all for your time !

Solved

 

Glad to here you got it sorted out, a permissions problem, huh?

 

Hi all,
It seems like I have a similar problem. I've tried playing with the clock time, but it's not working. I've tried doing what you suggested in the tasks scheduler but it does not work either. Maybe I have the same accessibility problem? But I don't know how to fix it.
Many thanks!

 

ok none of these methods helped and my apps still close automatically after i managed to fix my start icon, changing time didn't do anything, refreshing time also nothing and powershell says everythings fine..
