Dear John,
Thanks for the help. I tried every method, and none of them worked. The 3rd method (**Please try to run SFC and DISM to check for any system errors and corrupted files.) did not even happen because it said I needed elevated permissions to run DISM. Do you have any other methods I could try to resolve this issue? I really need access to the Microsoft Store for my email amongst other things.
Kind Regards,
Ahmad
Please try this if it helps.
Please make sure to uninstall the Microsoft Store and Xbox app first.
**Uninstall the Microsoft Store app:
Press Windows key + X
Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator. Copy and paste the command below then press Enter.
get-appxpackage *WindowsStore* | remove-appxpackage
**Uninstall the Xbox app
Open Settings then select Apps
Click Installed apps, find Xbox app
Click it then Uninstall
Once the two apps are uninstalled, install the Xbox app from the link below
https://aka.ms/XboxInstaller
Restart your computer then open the Xbox app
This will prompt to install the Microsoft Store app
Please check if the issue persists.
Kind regards,

The Microsoft Store is the only way I know to update any apps that come pre-installed with Windows 10. To update those apps, you open the Microsoft Store, click 'Downloads and updates' and 'Get Updates'.
My question is "can we accomplish the same goal by command-line? either using Command Prompt or PowerShell? And if there is a command-line option for 'getting and installing app updates', can we schedule or execute that command remotely?
Im getting this issue lately whenever i format a new laptop, microsoft store wont load and i get an error, cant search anything, or load the installed apps... even after full windows update still nothing...
I noticed few times when microsoft store get updated somehow, it runs fine, even though the set region is us... before that i never had such problem, microsoft store open normally, loads the apps and check for updates then auto update... now it does not load anything, only getting an error with no apps to show
Im not asking for a fix, im only asking if there is a way to manually update or install the newest version of microsoft store? Like normal software gets installed with an installation exe or something like that
Hey!
Since I performed a clean install of Windows 11 on my new drive, the Microsoft Store is not able to update apps anymore. When selecting a new app to download or when updating an existing app, the library shows "Pending" or "Downloading" on the app. I waited for an hour and none have finished yet.
In the screenshot below, you can see the behaviour: https://imgur.com/a/hrD1mIX
Things I have tried:- Performed a clean install of Windows 11 (twice)
- Updated Windows to latest version|
- Under the Microsoft Store app options selected repair and reset.|
- Signed out and back in again in the Microsoft store
- Ran wsreset.exe
- Ran Windows store apps troubleshooter (says it couldn't identify any problems)
- Used System File Checker, as explained here (which reported no issues)
- Re-registered the store app using: Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
None of these seem to have solved the issue. Does anyone know anything else I can try? Thanks!

This issue seemed to be on Microsoft's end, and was automatically resolved for me today (dec, 3rd).
