the windows 10 store APPLICATION CANNOT BE STARTED TRY REINSTALLING THE APPLICATION TO FIX THE PROBLEM

Hi S.Panchatcharam,

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I understand the concern. Let me help you to fix the issue.

To assist you better I would like to know, are you log-in using Microsoft account?

Based on your information, I have tried the steps you have provided but we did not see the option to go to store from settings. To understand the issue better, it would be best if you include a screenshot in your post.

Please visit: How to include a screenshot in your post

Meanwhile, If you are logged-in using Microsoft account let's try the below methods and check if this helps. Follow the below methods.

Method 1.

I would recommend you to run app troubleshooter and check if it helps. Follow the below link to run app troubleshooter.

If the issue still persist, try the below method.

Method 2.

I would suggest you reset the Windows app store and check if it helps.

1. Type "Run" on the search bar and press Enter.

2. Now type: "WSReset.exe" and hit enter to reset the Windows apps store.

Hope this helps. Post us with the status we will be glad to help you.

Hey, having the same issue myself. Tried WSReset.exe and all it comes up with is unable to launch, please try re-installing

My app store wont open either. When I hit the app store button the shopping bag icon flashes on the screen for a second then disappears. 

If i try the WSReset.exe I get the error message THE APPLICATION CANNOT BE STARTED. TRY REINSTALLING THE APPLICATION TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

In fact after further exploration, no app will open, it tells me to go to the app store THIS APP CANT OPEN. CHECK THE WINDOWS STORE FOR MORE INFO ABOUT_______.

Ironic and annoying

I also have the same problems store app flashes on screen then nothing , at first some of my apps downloaded would open but everyday there are less opening and none working. I also have tried all suggestions  posted here and what I found on web. any new information or help from Microsoft would be appreciated this is not the time of year for Microsoft to screw up worse than usual. I will be looking at apple products on black Friday . there is no excuse for this they Microsoft keep placing  blame on the consumer and their computers when in reality they have created and forced on the public another inferior product that even they don't know how to fix their own product when something goes wrong. windows 10 a mess of junk products all thrown together and is now causing both personal and business computer systems to crash and become useless at the consumers expense.

Hi, someone is helping me at this site: http://www.techsupportforum.com/forums/f338/windows-app-store-wont-open-neither-will-any-apps-1168537.html#post7289041

Its working so far, so follow the steps.

Nope this does not work either

There is an IO error due to the folder having Trusted Installer rights, and the Admin user you are using to run Powershell does not have write permission to this folder.  So this Powershell script might have worked int he past but does not work now
