Getting “Microsoft Store Failed to Initialize” or “Something Went Wrong” when trying to open or use the Microsoft Store on your Windows PC? This error usually happens due to corrupt cache, user profile problems, or system service failures.

In this video, I’ll walk you through the exact steps to fix it and get the Microsoft Store working again on Windows 11 and Windows 10.

Step-by-Step Fix Guide:

Restart Your PC First

A simple reboot can sometimes restore essential services

Reset the Microsoft Store Cache

Press Windows + R, type:

wsreset.exe

Press Enter and wait for the Store to reopen automatically

Re-register the Microsoft Store

Open PowerShell as Administrator

Copy and paste the following commands, then press Enter:

Script 1:
Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Script 2:
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Go to Settings - Windows Update

Install all available updates, especially for system files and the Store itself

Run Windows Store Troubleshooter

Settings - System - Troubleshoot - Other troubleshooters

Scroll down and run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter

Enable Required Services

Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter

Make sure these are running and set to Automatic:

Windows Update

Microsoft Store Install Service

Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS)

Create a New Local User (if nothing else works)

Go to Settings - Accounts - Other users

Add a new local user and try launching the Store from there
