Hello,

This is driving my insane. Windows Store decided that it no longer opens when I click on it. I have been researching this issue for two days in a row now so far I got no solution.

What I did managed to narrow down to is that if I call the windows store using the command prompt 'start' command, I get a "remote procedure call" error (the the one in point 2 below).

Here is what I have tried:

0. Tried running Appsdiagnostic cabined did not fix any issues. It does try to run WSRESET.EXE but it gives me an error (see point 2 below).

1. Creating a new account - Same issue.

2. Run WSRESET.EXE - Gives me the error: The remote procedure call failed.

• Yes. all RPC services are running as expected.
• Permissions of HKCU\Software\Classes\[...]\AppModel\Repository\Packages seems fine (owner: SYSTEM). Anyway, any attempts of change gives me an access denied error.

3. Tried running SFC - No joy

4. Tried running DISM with /RestoreHeath - No joy.

5. Tried running SFCFIX - Here is what I got:

AutoAnalysis::
CORRUPT: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-store-client-ui_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17669_none_a935f262375dc12f\WinStoreUI.dll
CORRUPT: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-u..ed-telemetry-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17747_none_90df8130dac08ee0\utc.app.json
CORRUPT: C:\Windows\winsxs\amd64_microsoft-windows-u..ed-telemetry-client_31bf3856ad364e35_6.3.9600.17747_none_90df8130dac08ee0\telemetry.ASM-WindowsDefault.json

6. Tried re-registering the Store app by running: powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

7. Tried the instructions found here to fix the remote procedure call error.

NOTE: System restore or refresh are NOT an option.

I'm impressed by the poor quality of the Modern/Metro apps. this looks more like pre-Alpha build quality than anything else.

I don't know what to do. Could someone please advise?

Regards,
P.
