Windows Store is borked?

[Massacher]

I'm on Windows 11. I have tried numerous solutions. (I've tried everything here)

https://www.groovypost.com/howto/microsoft-store-not-working-on-windows-11/

All day today to try and fix this. In the end they all say to do a clean install of Windows. I don't want to do that as there are too many apps I'd have to install again. And a lot of settings to customize. I shouldn't have to do that just to get the store working.

Anyway I ran the Windows Update troubleshooter and in the results the following information is shown:

I don't know why its being so stubborn and not launching!

I've tried the Powershell commands and many other things to no avail. When is Microsoft going to release an update to fix this?

I think it may have been the latest update that stuffed things up. Before that it was working.

Restore points should get created when certain things change. Try using a restore point that was created just before the issue began.

Never used 11 so hopfully steps the same as 10
Windows 10 > Windows Key + S > Start typing restore point until Create a restore Restore Point appears > Restore point

System Restore > Choose a different restore point > Select a restore point from before the issue began > Next

I think I disabled restore points when I installed windows 10. I usually use an image to restore windows. But that was well over a year ago.

I'll be checking if I can restore when I get home.

Yea did all the powershell stuff. I have completely removed the Store but it seems there is no way to get it back unless from a fresh install. Or if there's an offline installer for the Store?

Re-install Win11, or revert back to Win10.
Windows 11 still has a few bugs that are yet to be ironed out, using it right now you will get things like this from time to time.

I assume there is a way to get a offline I stall of it but haven't seen it for myself. Might give it a shot when I get home just for a project even though I don't use it.

have you tried making a new local user account and seeing if the store works in that?
