Solved SOLVED - Microsoft Store not available?

dbartenstein · Dec 5, 2022

Getting this when trying to get to Microsoft Store on my Insider Beta box. It's working OK on my Win10 work machine.

At least it's not just me.

Getting this too, it had an update this morning. Looks like server-side issues.

It's working sometimes, definitely a problem somewhere

It's working OK for me in both Dev and Beta channels, though I did briefly see a 'something's not working' message in Beta, but clicking Get Updates got it working normally again - including downloading updates.

Note that for the Insider builds it says it's 'Microsoft Store PREVIEW' so it may not be using the same servers as your work machine.

Getting the same issue as @dbartenstein....
My OS version under avatar.

Same here as well. I've run through all of the 'fixes' that I found last year as noted in my post in missing microsoft store and after running that one command in an elevated PS in Terminal, it started working.

It may be coincidence, but it came right up after I closed and then re-opened the Store, no log out needed this time.

Yes! I ran the command and that seemed to do it!

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Seems to be working for me now. All I did was sign out and back in.

It was weird because the home page wouldn't load while signed in but it did after signing out.

Working fine for me on this build though there´s nothing usually in the store that I´m even remotely interested in . Usually "Independent apps" are far better than equivalent ones installed via the store but of course YMMV on those sort of issues.

cheers

Based upon the last quotation, I think it may have been just randomly fixed server side rather than the command, but if it worked, cool. I only have the one Windows device, and didn't have time to fire up the VMs to test, so I cannot say if it was on their end (most likely) or what.

Regardless, though, glad it seems that the store is working again.
