Press Windows key + X to open Power User Menu and then press A on the keyboard to launch PowerShell in admin/elevated mode. In the PowerShell console, copy and paste in the command below and hit Enter:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}”Restart the computer.
5] Perform System Restore
If you noticed that the error started to occur recently, it’s entirely possible that the issue was facilitated by a change that your system has gone through recently. In this case, perform System Restore, and see if the issue is resolved.
