Windows App Store doesn't load after 8.1 Upgrade

Posted at  4:30 PM 1

If you're currently experiencing abandonment issues from the Windows Store after upgrading to Windows 8.1, don't panic there is hope.

You may see the Windows Store loading screen stuck in perpetual loop without end.
 


There is a relatively quick and painless fix.

You may have seen other sites recommend running the WSreset.exe tool, or manually trying to clear the cache from the Windows\SoftwareDistribution\Download folder.



Don't.  This can happen when the Store needs to be re-registered after an upgrade.

Open a Command Prompt as an Administrator.




In the Administrator Command Prompt



type or paste the following command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
hit Enter.

Now in that same Administrator Command Prompt type or paste: start "" "ms-windows-store:"
Voila. Enjoy installing some new Store apps.
