I'd like to know what's the registry path, values & entries (in Registry Editor) for these options under the Microsoft STORE Settings page?

Hi, if they exist, you can find them - or prove they don't exist- by a fairly simple experiment using a free tool such as Regshot which captures the registry before and after, and produces a (usually fairly short) comparison.
Sometimes it's easy to identify the change- at other times it can be 1 bit buried in hundreds, depending on the key.

Hi, I tried using Regshot for you.
The first run, turning Live Tile off reported nothing of obvious interest.
The second complete run, turning Live Tile on, reported - amongst other things- this:
What I was hoping to see was the same value change back and forth but I didn't, comparing the two reports.
Feel free, with due caution, to experiment with that, but bearing in mind that at present we don't even know for sure this setting is recorded in the registry.
@dalchina thanks. As I said, earlier, I've also ran the regshot to find the appropriate reg value of those settings but didn't find anything concrete. So, from your testing, what do you say? Are those reg entries the currect one? Have you tried to make a reg file backup by importing them, then after turning the optiuon off, try to on that via that .reg file?Hi, I tried using Regshot for you.

@Brink do you have anything to say or add in this regard? Can you try this out to see how that gonna work to find out the reg tweaks of those settings?
I make no comment as to whether it's the correct one or not. It's merely an observation for you to try.
I can't comment as to whether these settings are saved in the registry, nor am I going to try to prove that for you. I merely offer a possible way for YOU to try.
Clearly YOU can try changing that setting in the registry and then seeing whether this changes what is shown in Settings. (Note, you may need to restart or log off/on etc for that change to become effective).

I could be wrong here but isn't store apps banned from writing to the registry?
That was my first thought and also my understanding, which is why I wasn't surprised to find the OP responding with nothing found. Nontheless I though it worth attempting to answer the question as asked. However my second test DID find something related to the Store as you can see. Also see

And for thought: there is some overlap between the Control Panel and Settings... and functions are moved from the CP to Settings. What role mght the registry then play?
I have a feeling that some of Microsoft's apps (like settings for example) are using Brokered Windows Runtime, while the store may not.
