Windows 10 Microsoft Store crashes on startup

Forgot to mention, this is all just to play Minecraft: Windows 10 edition, any way i can play that without this broken Microsoft store? (its on my Microsoft account)

It was working, then froze, and now it's doing the same thing, loading the home page and then closing afterwards

Tried again, still not working, is there a way I can play Minecraft: Windows 10 Edition without the Microsoft Store?

2. The next step if Wsreset doesn't help is to Reset the Store app. To do this, follow the steps:

5. Repair install: The last Restort is a reinstallation of Windows. You can do a repair install, which keeps everything including your apps and files.
