Issue with the Windows app store
Mainly, my Windows Store applications don’t start when the store itself launches—it just appears instantly and nothing happens. I’ve used standard methods like CMD and PowerShell commands, but a clean install or reset isn’t possible since that’s what I did. All the newest updates are installed, and no process or Windows update is turned off. This behavior occurs when I attempt to open WSReset.exe.
PS - I used to dislike apple, but now when their products offer decent specs, it doesn’t seem too expensive. And after using Mac OS for a while, I’ve begun disliking Windows 10 more and more, facing significant issues every few days. And honestly, I really dislike those automatic updates; there’s no easy way to turn them off, and they consume all my bandwidth.
I just installed the setup from ISO in Windows and selected the remove everything option. This has happened many times before—it worked perfectly once. The Windows Store is usually the main issue I encounter with users.
Typically people face no issues. Have you ever used a registry cleaner? Are you running security software? Did you adjust permissions on system folders? Have you tried any system tweak tools? Did you install the newest graphics card drivers? (Apps in the UWP Store are fully rendered on the GPU) When you create a new account, does the Store and everything function properly?
I’d try to resolve it with a fresh account, cleaner tools. I think the problem is with the account. Which applications do you typically use from the Windows Store? Switching to OS X isn’t difficult if you’re familiar with it. I disliked Windows 10 because of the frequent updates and errors I faced. I switched to OS X in January and stayed there ever since. If you can afford a Mac, I’d think about starting this now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAoOAa_izh0&t=112s
Sir, I just installed it, so nothing from the previous steps. I logged into my Microsoft account, tried to log out and restart, but it seems I ran both Win apps and Win to update at the same time overnight. After sleeping, I followed what it asked, and the next day there were no Win apps or store activity.
Created a new local account for testing purposes. Navigated to it and checked if the apps function properly. The goal was to determine whether the issue lies at the account level or within the system. All apps were updated manually, coinciding with the Windows Update schedule, and the system restarted at the same time as the Windows Update process. This may have caused the problems to occur.
Discovered it's a system-wide issue, which confirms my argument that Windows isn't performing well.
