Before getting to the proper fixes, there’s a small checklist of things you should confirm before you carry on:

Windows is up to date
UAC (User Account Control) is enabled
Your Video Card/GPU drivers are up to date
If these are all in place but your Windows Store still isn’t working, proceed onto the following fixes.

Change the Computer’s Time
One of the more effective yet somewhat strange methods of solving Windows 10 Store crashes is making sure your computer’s clock is accurate. When Windows Store boots up, it tries to get a sync between the store’s time and your own. If the two times are different, the store will sometimes refuse to load. It’s very frustrating but also very easy to fix.

Set Yourself as Owner of the WindowsApps Folder
Sometimes the problem lies in the fact that you don’t “own” the WindowsApp file on your computer. It may seem a little odd, but sometimes files are modified to not allow you access to them, despite being on your machine and associated with your account. Telling the computer to give you total control over the Windows App folder will sometimes allow the Store to do its job properly.

To do this you’re going to need to perform a lot of security-based actions on the WindowsApps folder. Thankfully, we’ve already published a guide in the past that details step-by-step how to access your WindowsApps folder, so check it out.

Clear the Windows Store Cache
The simplest fix is to reset the Windows Store cache, which may have become cluttered and buggy over time. To do this, hit Ctrl + R, then in the Run box type wsresetand hit Enter. A command prompt window should show up, which indicates that Windows is resetting the Store cache. When the window closes, the job is done, so you can try opening the Store again to see if it works properly.

Reinstall the Windows Store
It may seem radical, but sometimes the best way to fix the problems with the Windows Store is to reinstall. Unfortunately, it’s not quite as simple as just going to your “Apps and Features” list. (You didn’t think Microsoft would make it that easy, did you?)

Disable Proxy Server
If you have a proxy server (or VPN for that matter) enabled, then it could be sending your Windows Store out of whack because your PC’s IP address doesn’t correspond with the details on your Windows account. So first, if you have a VPN enabled, switch it off. Proxy connections, on the other hand, are a bit more sneaky, and you might not even know if you have one switched on.

To check this and switch off your proxy connection, click the Start button, then the “Settings” icon. In the Settings window, click “Network & Internet Proxy” in the pane on the left, and then make sure the “Use a proxy server” slider is switched off.
