Hey John,
I tried performing the In-place upgrade, but every time at the "checking for updates stage" it stopped at 46% (I tried 4-5 times). Do you know what I can do to get microsoft store back?
How do I update the microsoft store app?

Hey, so I wanted to use mail but it said I had to update mail so it opened microsoft store, and it said "Before you can shop, we need to update microsoft store" so I pressed "Update now" and waited and nothing happened. Then I clicked back and it said there was an error, when I pressed see details, it took me to a screen telling me that it "can't connect" (I have linked an image of the screen). When I pressed "check connection" it said I was connected to the internet and secure. I have tried multiple ways of troubleshooting and nothing has worked, and I can't use my email because of it.

Few things to check on the PC
**Unplug all external peripherals except for the Mouse, Keyboard, and LAN cable before starting
**Disable or uninstall any third-party Antivirus program to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade
Kind regards,

I followed the instructions, but when I opened the xbox app after reinstalling it, it did not prompt me to reinstall microsoft store. It instead shows an error message. Do you know what I can do to reinstall the Microsoft Store?
Kind Regards,
Ahmad
