Microsoft store wont open, what do i do?
soo uh idk what to do my microsoft store aint working anymore and its starting to mess up other apps, i keep getting pop ups like "game bar cant open" or something along those lines. I tried to go to command prompt and powershell but neither have worked, i also tried to reset the app and repair it in settings but that didnt work either. So what else is left for me to do?

Can you send a screenshot or screen recording of any error messages it displays
There is no error message or nothing
Sometimes it boots up for like half second and then instantly closes
And sometimes nothing happens when i try to boot it up
Il record you a clip once im back home
A pcap might be helpful
have you installed anything recently? Do you have antivirus?
which version of windows?
whats that
windows 10
packet capture
nah not really and ye i do have antivirus
install wireshark, hit record, perform the action, stop the recording, save the pcap and send it here
what does that do
it might provide some insight into what is happening
It captures packets... :bigkek:
essentially just intercepts data in the form of network packets and saves them for analyzing
intercepts is the wrong word perhaps. more accurately it just listens and records the packets being sent
so yeah, maybe you can do that and upload the pcap here
start with a virus scan. It could be lots of things, I don't think we need to jump to packet captures yet.
run a full virus scan. Make sure the virus definition are up to date.
If you have system restore points that might also be something to consider.
There's also potential for it to be a hardware issue, but lets work under the assumption its just software for the time being.
Also, just to make sure all bases are covered, you have restarted your system and the problem persists?
@real_sheesho did this get resolved?
wut da hell
look at eventvwr
wut do u mean u tried with cmd n powershell bro
more info is needed
try wsreset.exe
or sfc /scannow for corrupted file check
although this type of troubleshooting is like gambling
"if it doesnt work ill move to the next fix"
try this app u can find it in google Windows Update Blocker
Within ps (ensure ms store is completly closed) try reinstalling it (type command in poweshell) :
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
this ⌃
if you turn updates off it fucks up ms store
