Every time I click on the app store it starts to open and then closes. I was trying to find a solution to it and one was to do a computer refresh. So i went to do that and thats when I noticed that the pc settings won't open either. I've done most of the methods that have been posted to other people's questions. Is there some other way to refresh?

    try the command without the space. if doesn't work you might need to do a factory reset but with out wiping out your data. they have that option but you need to find it. its some where in the control panel.

    When you find the command prompt right click it and open as admin. SFC /SCANNOW only run as admin
