If you fresh install windows 10 on any computer and try to launch the Windows store to update it and all the other app's it hosts, YOU CAN'T. If you go to the Downloads and Updates tab, it just refreshes the Home tab and you can't update the store to fix. The only fix I have found is to have the PC sit overnight and at some point the store will decide to auto update and it will fix itself, but when refurbishing many new PC's I cant have them all sit overnight just to finished updates. This is not some one off issue, I have just tried to install windows on like 7 different PC's all with varying specs, same issue. and yes I have the latest 22H2 from Microsoft I even redid my boot USB as a troubleshooting step. Any way to manually download the new windows store?

    Hello,

    The New Microsoft Store has its own package that you can install from Powershell by running:

    Add-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore_22110.1401.10.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.Msixbundle
