If your having issues with Windows apps in Windows 8 or 10, reinstalling them through the store should fix the problem. But what if the Store IS the problem? Read on for how to reinstall the Windows Store!

To restore from a restore pont, click or tap "System Restore...".
2. Go to All Apps > Windows PowerShell > Windows PowerShell. Right click or hold on Windows PowerShell and choose "Run as Administrator".
3. Windows PowerShell should open, when it does, enter the following command: Get-Appxpackage -Allusers
3. Find Microsoft.WindowsStore (Click or tap the icon in the top left of Windows PowerShell and chooses Edit > Find to search for it.)
4. Copy the istall location by selecting it and right clicking.
5. Paste the following command and press Enter (Replace Store Location with the location of your store app):Add-AppxPackage -register "[Store Location]\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
