This could be because of the anniversary update.
There are several method to resolve this, for me number 4 worked.
Possible solution 1
Right-click the start button, select "Command prompt (Admin)" and type wsreset.exe. Didn't work for me, I was getting: "You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store".
A possible error that you can get is this:
Possible solution 2
Start an elevated PowerShell:
Start an elevated PowerShell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
And then
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML
Didn't work for me either. I got this:Cannot find path 'C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML' because it does not exist.
I simply had no "WinStore" folder in my "C:\Windows". Possibility for this is that the WinStore folder is located in "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps"
Possible solution 3
Start an elevated PowerShell:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
For me it was this that worked:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}For others it could be this:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Finally, it worked.
If none of the above solutions works for you - create a new administrator user and repeat the steps under the new account. You will have to transfer all the existing data to the new user profile from the old one.
To remove the Store completely:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage
Find the Windows Store Location:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers
To reinstall the Windows 10 Store:
Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11602.1.26.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppXManifest.xml"
May be due to some Update. Recently when i also updated my Windows 10 OS, Some of main Applications didn't work. I Restored to previous version and Everything works fine now!!
ReplyDeleteNone of these commands work because "Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist."
