WIndows 10 Store Not Installed

Anonymous

Hello,

Whenever I try to open Windows Store, it gives me the error message, "This app can't open. There's a problem with Store. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it."

When I go to C:\Windows, there's no Winstore folder. Therefore, there is no AppxManifest.xml to guide Powershell in reinstalling everything.

The SFC and DISM are in progress, and I am just about to close Edge to try the "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" command. I don't think I'll have much luck, though, because it calls for the C:\Windows\Winstore\AppXManifest.xml file as well.

EDIT:

Alrighty then, the aforementioned command worked but not to fix Store. It apparently just reinstalled some of the apps, or updated their AppXManifests or something.

So, as I said, nothing. Yay. A little help here?

EDIT:

Neither SFC nor DISM found anything wrong.

I had exact same problem that window store and calculator are not working after window 10 upgrade. I did all above mentioned method. None of them working. Why can't Microsoft just give us MS window store .exe file to let us to install or you release a patch to fix the issue. According to post, the problem started last year. Now is already end of May 2016. Why Microsoft can not come out a solution to fix this simple issue ? Instead of asking us to try many different methods and none of them working. Very disappointed.

I'll give you everything possible to repair the store. Even if you've tried a step please do it over in this sequence:

See if the fixes here help: https://www.pcworld.com/article/3053099/windows/3-quick-fixes-for-your-windows-store-problems.html

Try running the Windows Store apps Troubleshooter at Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

Try resetting the Store cache: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-windows-store-cache

If that fails go to Settings>Apps and highlight Microsoft Store, choose Advanced Settings, then Reset. After it resets, restart PC.

If that fails then reinstall Store. Type CMD in Start Search, right click Command Prompt result to Run as Administrator, copy the following code and paste it into the box using the Edit tools from Box's top left dropdown menu, press Enter:

[code]PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsStore*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"[/code]

If these all fail then go over this checklist to make sure the install is set up correctly, optimized for best performance, and any needed repairs get done: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wiki/windows\_10-performance/windows-10-performance-and-install-integrity/75529fd4-fac7-4653-893a-dd8cd4b4db00

Start with Step 4 to turn off Startup freeloaders which can conflict and cause issues, then Step 7 to check for infection the most thorough way, then step 10 to check for damaged System Files, and also Step 16 to test a new Local Admin account because of the serious and persistent problem with corrupted accounts. Then continue with the other steps to go over your install most thoroughly.

If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, by installing Media Creation Tool and then choosing to Upgrade Now. This reinstalls Windows while keeping files, programs and most settings in place, and is also the most stable method to advance to the latest version. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/media-creation-tool-install

I hope this helps. Feel free to ask back any questions and let us know how it goes. I will keep working with you until it's resolved.
