    Hi kedirabdu

    I am Vijay, an Independent Advisor. I am here to work with you on this problem.

    Please try these options one by one and check after each option.

    1. If you are able to open MS Store, open MS Store > Click on your profile picture on top right and sign-out. Then sign-in again.
    2. Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

    Windows Key+X > Click Settings > Click Update & security > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down to the bottom > Click Windows Store Apps > Click Run the Troubleshooter

    1. Reset Windows Store through Command Prompt

    Type cmd in Windows Search box > Right click on Command Prompt > Run As Administrator > Type WSreset.exe and click Enter > Reboot your computer

    1. Re-register All Store apps (You will get many Reds, ignore them)

    Windows Key+X > Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the following from below and right click in Powershell to paste > Enter > Restart your computer

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

    1. Uninstall & Reinstall Store

    Windows Key+X > Windows Powershell (Admin) > Copy the following from below and right click in Powershell to paste > Enter

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Remove-AppxPackage

    Copy the following from below and right click in Powershell to paste > Enter > Reboot your computer

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

    1. Run Built-in & Guided Walk through Windows Update troubleshooter

    Built-in : Windows Key+X > Click Settings > Click Update & security > Click Troubleshoot > Click Windows Update > Click Run the Troubleshooter

    Guided Walk though - https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/10164/...

    1. Check your Antivirus

    Temporarily uninstall / disable AV. Enable after troubleshooting.

    1. As a last resport, I would recommend that you perform a Windows 10 repair upgrade. Repair upgrade fixes all Windows errors and retains all files, applications and settings. (You will not lose any data while backup is a good idea) Below is a good guide to perform repair upgrade

    Hello,

    Try to re-register apps. Perform these steps:

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.
    2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.
    3. Then type following command and press Enter key:

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

    Let the command complete.

    1. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now.

    Let us know if this helps!

    I recommend an in-place upgrade repair.

    To repair Windows without losing any data then follow the instruction here:

    https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repai...

    This will also upgrade you to the latest version of Windows - currently 1903.

    In a nutshell you just download the media creation tool & choose to upgrade now.
