Good Day Brennan,

My name is Carlo, I am also using Windows 10 pc and community member like you. Let us work together to sort this out.

Here's the steps you can try.

-Press Windows key + R

-Type Wsreset.exe and hit enter

Wait for few seconds while it is resetting the Store cache.

Once done proceed with these steps

-Press Windows key + X

-Click Windows Powershell Admin

-Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit enter.

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

-Click Start, type CMD and run as administrator

-Copy and paste these commands:

net stop wuauserv

Once you enter that command , dont close the command prompt window.

-Press Windows Key + R

-Copy and paste this in the run box

Navigate to C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download

Delete the entire contents of the Download folder

Now go to the command prompt and paste this

net start wuauserv

Restart your computer and check the Store app.

I hope the information above helps. Please let me know how it goes.

Have a wonderful day ahead and stay safe.

Sincerely,

Carlo T.
