Hello.

I would first try to reset the store cache:
Go to Start > type wsreset > select wsreset.

Okay. Before registering the store, did you try elevating your powershell rights? (Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted)

If this doesn't work, you might need to re-install windows after all.

Use this parameter instead, and try again:

First:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

Then:

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

(copy paste this in the shell)

Hmm...

If you have tested your HDD/SSD using a software such as CrystalDiskInfo, to rules out a defective disk, then I strongly suggest you re-install your windows at this point. Something is clearly wrong with it, and it needs to be re-installed.

i have not done a test with CrystalDiskInfo. should i do a scan with it any ways? also do a really have to reinstall windows because i really would not like to!

 

[Natsukage]

Please do a scan of CrystalDiskIngo, it will take only a few minutes after all, and keep you from having issues later on if your HDD is defective. It would explain this behavior as well.

Health Status : Good

Your hard drive is not the issue it seems...

Hmm, next step, follow the procedure in this link?
http/www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-reinstall-re-register-windows-8-10-a.html

Copy this to the command prompt for example:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsStore*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

Though that seems to be the same thing as above....

I'm truly stumped... I'll try checking for other solutions.

You can try this program:

It has a repair windows store option.

they are telling me to contact my vendor? and il try the major geeks one now! also thanks for your constant help with this. i really appreciate it.

You're welcome. ^^

That is contact the vendor of the Store...thus contact Microsoft. ^^; You can always call them and wait a few hours on the phone...

If tweaking.com doesn't work, I guess your best bet would be this:
http/www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

Using this method, you will repair windows without losing any files or programs.

so i ran the tweaking.com program it said there where errors and i fixed them using the program while also reseting windows store and still not fixed. but when i logged in i keep getting notifications saying a default app was reset because of a problem. got it about 5 times. and its stopped for now. but i would guess this is normal.

well it seems my only option is to reset my windows 10 after all! thanks for the help man! lets hope the reset will do the trick.

 

[Natsukage]

Well, at least we tried... Try the "repair" first though, as linked above. ^^
