Windows 11 26H1 System Microsoft Store Cannot Open.
After several days of debugging, I have completed system optimization, driver installation, essential software configuration, firewall settings, and various system configurations for Windows 11 26H1. Finally, when I was about to update system applications, I found that the Microsoft Store would not open. I have already tried resetting the Microsoft Store (both options tested) and performed two clean installations of the system, but the issue persists. My preliminary judgment is that the 26H1 system version itself has a defect. Now, with no other option, I have to revert to using an older version of the system.

It sounds like you've done extensive troubleshooting on Windows 11 26H1, but the Microsoft Store still won't open despite resets and clean installs. Given your conclusion that the current build may have a defect, reverting to an older, more stable version is a reasonable step.

What system are you using 26H1 on? My reading says that its intended for specific OEM hardware and not a general feature update meant to be used on most systems.
Please try this command in Windows PowerShell:
Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
This will re-register Store app package, see if that helps.
