Hello and Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Microsoft Store is seriously broken on my system, I have no idea how but it is. Image 001 shows that the icon is blank and if it's clicked much like waiting around for the perfect woman, nothing happens. Image 002 is the result in Powershell when removing the store and all other apps. Image 003 is the result in Powershell when reinstalling the Microsoft Store. I've also tried downloading the .APPX files directly but once downloaded there's nothing to open/load them with. Along with that, I was guessing as to which ones to download because the ones referenced are not available in the list provided. So that's my issue, and again with all due respect to every one of you please don't send me "refresh/reset the app" or "right-click uninstall." All the general home user stuff has been tried already. So those that I didn't offend with my last couple of sentences, I would greatly appreciate some direction. Thanks in advance. - Izzy

If you listen cartefully, you can hear me not caring.
Last year, I completely removed Microsoft Store on Windows 10, with REVO Uninstaller.
I also "scanned for leftovers" in REVO , and removed all that as well.
Then I decided I wanted it back. Nothing worked. I tired everything, for two months.

Then I found this, and Solution #9 worked for me...


Maybe this will help someone, help you.
Yes, I know we're on Eleven Forum. :)

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 15 years?
All I can suggest is a clean install of windows or restore of an earlier image (which you should have) or try a repair install.

Thank you to everyone who responded. Unfortunately, none of the suggestions worked. As BrianInEngland suggested I did a reinstall of Windows. I had to do it twice but everything seems to be working. I was on tech chat with Microsoft because after the reinstall the Microsoft Photos app wouldn't install. I tried everything before the woman at Microsoft told me it was a known issue on their end and to wait for the next update. Thanks again! Oh and retiredat44, you may want to get a few more naps in because your post makes no sense.
