Help! I've been trying for a few days to solve this, but MS and Google Searches haven't been able to help out at all.
On Windows 8 the Windows Store fails to start up on my wife's account. When you click on the app, you get the start screen for the windows store with the circle animation at the bottom, but that's it. It just stays on that screen, with the circle spinning around, and never goes any further.
It was that way on my account too. (Same computer.) Then on my login I ran wsreset.exe and it fixed the problem. But on my wife's login when I run wereset.exe, still the same problem -- wsreset.exe brings up the Windows Store start screen, then the start screen just sits there...
STUFF I'VE TRIED SO FAR, BUT IT DIDN'T FIX IT:
(Not really in order, especially since I've tried some of these a few times!)
1. Run wsreset.exe
2. Run sfc /scannow
3. Run DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth [as administrator]
4. Open a PowerShell [as administrator] and run Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
5. Download and run the Microsoft UI App troubleshooter
6. Run [as administrator] powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
The most curious thing is that Windows Store works on my account but not my wife's account! The biggest difference is that she's running with a Windows Live ID and I'm just running with a local login. Don't know if that makes a difference...?
Please let me know what other things I could try. Thanks!
