Windows 11 Microsoft Store Apps Not Loading in Microsoft Store nor can be installed

I have tried nearly every solution online for reinstalling, resetting, and fixing this issue, but I have yet to be able to solve. While opening the Microsoft Store, it hangs and will not connect. Through various trials and tribulations, I was able to get the Home screen to appear, but when clicking on the "apps" icon on the left side, the screen does not render apps. I also am unable to install any apps and no other icons work (i.e. Library). It appears all functionality with Microsoft Store has completely stopped working. 

  • Hello,

    Try re-registering Store app. Perform these steps:

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.

    2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.

    3. Then type following command and press Enter key:

    Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Let the command complete.

    4. Close Windows PowerShell.

    Let us know if issue still persists!

      Unfortunately, no luck. I continue to get "Page cannot be loaded" error.

      I have tried this same fix on a system JUST returned from repair from Microsoft and have had no success. I need to install an app from the store asap. What else can be done to fix this, I have attempted options through the APP Settings as wel.

    In some cases, the Microsoft Store content may be restricted based on your region. Check your region settings and consider using a VPN to see if that helps (be cautious, as this may violate Microsoft's terms of service).
