MS Store is stuck on updating. Non functional

If the Microsoft Store is stuck on updating and you have already tried various troubleshooting steps like repair, wsreset, sfc /scannow, and registry edits, here are a few additional steps you can try:

1. Check Microsoft Store Install Service:
   • Press Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.
   • Find the Microsoft Store Install Service. If it's running, right-click it and select Restart. If it's disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start, and then OK.
2. Verify Microsoft Store Registration:
   • Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

          Get-AppxPackage *Microsoft.WindowsStore*
     

   • If Microsoft Store isn't registered, you can re-register it using:

          Add-AppxPackage -Register -DisableDevelopmentMode "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_*
     

3. Check Firewall/Proxy Settings:
   • Ensure that your firewall or proxy isn't blocking the necessary endpoints for Microsoft Store. You may need to check your network settings or consult your network administrator.
4. Use Windows Package Manager (winget):
   • If you need to install or manage apps, you can use winget to bypass the Microsoft Store. For example:

          winget install <App name>
     

5. Change Region Settings:
   • Sometimes changing your region to the United States can help resolve issues with the Microsoft Store.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may want to consider resetting your Windows installation or reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance.
