    Welcome Pratik Mondal,

    I understand how frustrating it can be when you are unable to install any apps from the Microsoft Store and receive the message "There was a problem happening on our end." 

    Before suggesting further troubleshooting, could you please provide a bit more information:    

    • Are you signed in to the Microsoft Store with a Microsoft account or a local account? 
    • Does this happen with all apps or only specific apps? 

    Besides the earlier recommendations, you may find these additional options helpful:    

    Option 1: Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.  

    • Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters 
    • Run Windows Store Apps 

    Option 2: Reset the Microsoft Store cache.  

    • Press Windows + R 
    • Type wsreset.exe 
    • Press Enter 
    • Wait for the Store to reopen automatically 

    Option 3: Repair and reset Microsoft Store.  

    • Open Settings > Apps > Installed apps 
    • Select Microsoft Store > Advanced options 
    • Click Repair 
    • If the issue persists, click Reset 

    Option 4: Re-register Microsoft Store.  

    • Open Windows Terminal (Admin) 
    • Run: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml"} 

    I hope this helps. Please let me know the results of the above tests, and I will do my best to assist further.

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.


    To be able to assist you better, please clarify the following:

    What is the version and "OS Build" of your Windows?

    • Press "Windows + R", type winver, and click OK.

    If you prefer, share a screenshot. Use the shortcut "Windows + Shift + S" to use the screenshot tool.

    Be sure to censor your email address if it appears. The Microsoft Q&A is public.


    Looking forward to your reply.
