Microsoft Store Won't Launch
- Jul 10, 2020
Hello patrickmikk,
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 me know if issue still persists!

the re-register logic does not fix my issue. windows store app will not run ever since i was enrolled in the insider program for window10 and windows update attempted to install windows 11 automatically even though my laptop is not compatible with windows 11. i had to do a recovery and ever since then , about 2 years ago, the store app has a file length of zero and windows 10 does not know how to execute an empty file. Nothing comes from nothing. Nothing ever did. KapilArya

I tried your solution, but it still doesn't open..
Best regards,
