App Store not working on Windows 10 – how to fix the error

If the date or time is set incorrectly, this can often lead to a problem in the Windows Store.

  • Therefore, switch to the “Control Panel” with [Windows]+[X] and open “Date and time” and make sure that both are set correctly.
  • If the Windows Store still does not start, you can try clearing the app’s cache.
  • To do this, press [Windows] + [R] and enter “wsreset.exe”. Confirm this with [Enter]. After a short time, you should be able to start the App Store without any problems.
  • If the problem persists, the Windows Store can also be repaired via the console.

  • PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + ‘\AppxManifest.xml’ ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}
  • Confirm the command with [Enter]. The Windows Store should then work again
