Can't open studio, can't download studio, can't open Windows store

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

I have previously installed Powerapps studio on my Windows 10 PC and created apps with it. Now when I try to run it from the start menu, nothing happens when I click.

 

So I try to download it again from here: https://www.microsoft.com/sv-se/store/p/powerapps/9nblggh5z8f3?rtc=1

Nothing happens when I click the button.

 

So I try to open the Windows app store. But nothing happens when I click.


And when I say "nothing happens", I really mean nothing happens. There is no feedback at all.

    Try running wsreset.exe, that will hoepfully fix whatever has happened to the Store database.

    Hi @Anonymous,

     

    Which account you are using to login Windows 10, UAC enabled? Have you verified the Date and time settings? Make sure the time zone matches your region.

     

    And as @AndyPennell, suggested, run wsreset.exe to clear the Windows Store cache to check first.

    Type wsreset.exe in the search box and then press enter.

    If this won't help, run the Windows Built-in Windows store App troubleshooter as step 2.

    You can also open the troubleshooter through:

    Settings->Update and Security->Troubleshooter->Windows Store Apps->Run the troubleshooter

     

    If step 2 also fails, then open command prompt with admin rights, copy and paste the following:

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}" 

    Press enter.

     

    After that, check to see if it would work.

    If issue still insists, please post back.

    Regards,

    Michael

    Nothing really happened until I tried step 3. My UAC slider was way the bottom by the way. I don't know what the default is, but I definitely haven't moved it myself manually.


    Anyway, running that last bit in a console worked. Well, at first when I tried running Store, the taskbar just flashed and all icons momentarily disappeared. But after having successfully started Powerapp Studio, I can now run the store too.

    Is there a way of knowing what just happened, and how I prevent it from happening again?
