Microsoft Store Won't Launch

[patrickmikk]

Whenever I try to open the Microsoft Store to update an app or install an app it will not open. (It used to open before I reset it in Settings > Apps > Apps and features > Microsoft Store and then reset)

Windows 10 Home Insider Preview

Evaluation Copy. Build 20150.rs_prerelease.200612-1734

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.    @Kapil Arya
