    Pro N, English (World) -- MS Store not working


    Hi

    I recently installed Win-10 Pro N, with English (World), on my Thinkpad. Everything works great until I tried to open the MS Store.

    The MS Store won't open. Eventhough I have good internet connection and am logged in with a MS account.

    I have tried the following already:
    1) wsreset.exe
    A black screen popped up, then a window popped up with the message:
    Code:
    ms-windows-store: PurgeCaches  
    The add didn't start.
    2) Troubleshooters (Windows Store Apps) under Settings
    It couldn't detect any problems.
    3) "Repair" and "reset" under Settings/Apps&Features.


    Thanks!

    p.s. By the way, I am in East Asia.

    You're supposed to switch back to a normal region/language option after the English (World) hack. Store has no idea where you live, and it needs to know if apps are supposed to be allowed in your country.

    I changed the region to my country.

    MS Store still won't open.

    Windows N is just Windows without Media Player and the playback codecs.
    The reset command is "wsreset -i".

    Ok...looks like it is fixed now.

    MS Store is working, after I installed the "Media Feature Pack" via Settings\Apps\OptionalFeatures.

    Pro N is only for EU countries. Wgellhen you install media pack, you install additional features that are in Pro.

    How did you get a Pro N licence outside EU?

    I don't know. I used the MediaCreationTool22H2 from Microsoft. It gave me the option to install Pro or Pro N. I chose the latter.

    I purchased my Thinkpad used. It has Japanese keyboard. So, I assume it originated from Japan.

    Last I heard, Japan is not part of EU. How did you activate PC with Pro N licence?

    What do you mean "activate"? Windows never asked me to activate.
