Try these in order on Windows 11:

1. Reset the Microsoft Store cache.
   • Press Windows key + R.
   • Type wsreset.exe and select OK.
   • A blank Command Prompt window should appear for about 10 seconds, then Microsoft Store should open automatically.
2. Make sure Windows is fully updated.
   • Go to Start > Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates.
   • If updates are available, install them and restart the PC.
3. Update Microsoft Store.
   • Open Microsoft Store.
   • Select Library > Get updates.
   • If an update is available, it installs automatically.
4. Check time and location settings.
   • Incorrect region or time settings can prevent Microsoft Store from working correctly.
5. Close and reopen the app.
   • Select the X in the upper-right corner of Microsoft Store, then open it again.
6. Repair or reset the app.
   • Use Repair or Remove programs in Windows for the Microsoft Store app.
7. Reinstall affected apps from Library.
   • In Microsoft Store > Library, find the app and select Install.
8. If the Store still shows errors such as “Try that again” or 0x80131500:
   • Run wsreset.exe again.
   • Check Windows updates.
   • Update Microsoft Store.
   • Check time and location settings.
9. If needed, contact Microsoft Support.
   • Use Get Help and then Contact Support.
