    Hi, I'm Bernard, a fellow Windows user. I'm happy to help!

    The initialization may take an hour or more, depending on the capability and speed of the PC. However, if that will take time, I recommend recalibrating Windows Store components by following the steps below:

    Method 1. Repair Windows Store and app:

     

    Open Terminal (Admin) or Windows PowerShell(Admin) (Press Windows key + X then click Terminal(Admin))

    Copy, paste, and enter the command below:

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

    Then hit Enter. Once the process is done, restart the PC and check.

    If none will work from the above solutions work, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade, wherein it will update the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

     

    Kindly follow the steps from this link:
