By Timothy Tibbetts |
If you receive an error that reads "You’ll Need a New App to Open This MS-Windows-Store," then there's a problem with the Windows Store not working.
We'll begin the guide with the easier to run steps and then look at some possibilities using PowerShell.
1: Reset Windows Store in Settings
Let's begin by resetting the Windows Store.
Go to Start > Settings > Apps.
Scroll down to Windows Store and click on that. Click on Advanced options.
Scroll down, find and click on Reset.
Reboot your PC.
2: Run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter
Click on Start > Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot. Scroll down and click on Windows Store Apps, then Run the troubleshooter.
You will be notified if problems were found and fixed.
3: Re-register the Windows Store apps With PowerShell
Open PowerShell and type in
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"}
Restart Your PC.
4: Reset the Windows Store Cache With PowerShell
Open PowerShell and type in WSRest or WSRest.exe.
You might need to wait a few minutes before anything appear on your screen, so be patient.
5: Reinstall the Windows Store With PowerShell
Reinstalling the Windows Store is easy if you think you might have deleted the Store with a privacy app, for example. If so, you might run that app again to enable the store.
Open PowerShell and type in
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
It's normal to see some errors in red text.
Reboot your PC.
