set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned

copy and paste this command (all one line) in PS C:\WINDOWS\System32> prompt
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml"}
You will get a blue background and yellow writing as it works
exit powershell
reboot your computer and try store again
Then retry [install now] when starting the windows store.
if it still does not work try checking
your system for errors
Right-click start, Command Prompt (admin)
copy & paste each command (one at a time & test) and press enter
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
sfc /scannow
reboot your computer and try store again
3. Try creating a new user and change the new user account from standard to administrator.
Login with the new user and test opening and updating store.
