Windows Store won't launch


On my Windows 10 machine (with latest updates), when I login with my user, search for 'Store' and click on the 'Store' result. It does nothing. Start bar doesn't even close, nothing.


When I login under my partner's account, the store works perfectly fine.


I've tried many different solutions ranging from powershell scripts, wsreset.exe and folder permissions but I can't get it to run at all.


Has anyone had this issue before or know some steps that do work?


I've also ran sfc /scannow and it said that it fixed some corrupted files.


wsreset.exe came back with error 'Invalid Registry'.


My existing Windows Store apps do load up fine on my machine I just can't load up the Store itself under my user.


The PC was originally upgraded from Windows 8.1.


Any suggestions?



Answer



I eventually got it working.


After doing some digging and again re-creating my user account, I have discovered that the AppData for the Windows Store had been encrypted from my previous Windows 8 install. So this time when I recreated my account and copied over my files, I excluded the Appdata folder and the store now works perfectly.
