    Microsoft Store Issue


    Hey all,

    So I've ran into this really random problem that I can't seem to find anything relevant on that helps my situation. Maybe one of you have been in this predicament before and know the work around for this tedious issue. The issue in question? Right here;

    I can't open Microsoft Store, at all. It all started when I randomly couldn't pin or unpin things from my taskbar or even use the windows search bar on the taskbar. After a full reset of wiping and cleaning the drives (with dish soap duh) doing a cloud AND local reinstall of windows (two complete factory resets) it brings me back to this singular non-immediate issue I have.

    Now it is only Microsoft Store that is being funky, when I try running WSReset.exe (as Administrator or not) I get this beautiful error message telling me it failed; "ms-windows-store;PurgeCaches... Windows cannot access the specified device, path or file. You may not have sufficient permissions to access this item.

    Things I've tried to no avail; Full Wipe and Reset, WSReset.exe, Windows Store App Settings (Reset and Terminate Functions) and begging it to be nice to me.

    If anyone has any idea of where I can start fixing this issue I would greatly appreciate any idea's I haven't exhausted already. Thank you all in advance I just want to play Forza Horizon 4 again LOL.

    Thanks,

    Try this:

    Go to REGEDIT and find
    \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer
    and delete the key called DisallowRun

    Than go to GROUP POLICY and find
    1. Open Local Group Policy Editor by clicking Start and typing gpedit.msc.
    2. Expand User Configuration.
    3. Expand Administrative Templates.
    4. Expand System
    5. On the right-hand side locate a setting called Don’t run specified Windows applications. Double-click that setting and change it to Not Configured.
