When I click on Microsoft Store, it looks like the Microsoft store is coming up, but then flashes and shuts down. Windows 10. I have tried all the powershell scripts but just get error messages like: I will get about 30 messages that look like this.
Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered. (Exception from

HRESULT: 0x80073CF6)

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 5b09be66-1cc5-0002-3c3b-0b5bc51cdb01 in the Event Log or use

the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 5b09be66-1cc5-0002-3c3b-0b5bc51cdb01

    Hi, good day! I'm John Dev a Windows user like you and I'll be happy to assist you today. I know this has been difficult for you, Rest assured, I'm going to do my best to help you.

    When was the last time it worked properly? Have you made any changes to your computer recently?

    If you have a third-party VPN or Antivirus installed, please try to temporarily uninstall it then check if the issue persists.

    Please try changing your Region to United States if it helps.

    Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.

    **Reset the Microsoft Store cache

    Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box,

    type wsreset.exe -i

    and then select OK.

    Note:

    A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close, and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

    **Check the Microsoft Store Install Service

    Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.

    Find the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click, If the status is Running, right click it then select Restart

    If disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.

    **Please try to run SFC and DISM to check for any system errors and corrupted files.
