John Kouraklis 60 Posted December 2 By any chance, does anyone know how to restore windows store? I had this idea to get rid of all the unnecessary apps that come with windows and I removed them and windows store from Win 10 via PowerShell. Now, Windows consumes 100% CPU and I can see that processes like wsappx and the like get stuck so I assume that totally removing windows store is not a good idea at all. I tried to reinstall it via PowerShell, Creator Disk to fix Windows Installation and other methods but no luck at all. Before I do a clean installation maybe someone has a tip on this?

Sherlock 235 Posted December 2 Why don't you just recover from the backup you made before this experiment? Share this post Link to post
John Kouraklis 60 Posted December 2 Just now, Sherlock said: Why don't you just recover from the backup you made before this experiment? Well, the experiment was 1 year ago and I recently concluded that this must be the reason windows eat CPU load.... Sadly, no backups are avail. Share this post Link to post
Kas Ob. 3 Posted December 2 @John Kouraklis I did that few times and DISM tool will do it, but there was one time that it did failed and i had to use : SFC /scannow For DISM : DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth for more information or if you don't want the online version (not recommended) https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/947821/fix-windows-update-errors-by-using-the-dism-or-system-update-readiness Share this post Link to post
John Kouraklis 60 Posted December 2 @Kas Ob. I think I tried DISM before but I get some errors saying that the manifest files are not correct. I will try sfc Thanks Share this post Link to post

aehimself 25 Posted December 2 Forget about dism and SFC, those commands never fixed any issues since I'm working with computers 🙂 The command you are looking for is wsreset, I think I had to use it a couple of times on my Insider PC. https://www.thewindowsclub.com/reset-windows-store-cache Share this post Link to post
John Kouraklis 60 Posted December 2 Neither sfc nor dism fixed anything although they said they completed successfully. wsreset sadly fails. I've tried many times before. It says "You'll need a new app to open this ms-window-store link" That's why I believe I need a fresh installation Share this post Link to post
Kas Ob. 3 Posted December 2 @John Kouraklis Then you already did some real damage somewhere and one last solution left to be tried, download this https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweaking_com_windows_repair.html and use it to restore Windows Store, i used this tool for many things but never for the store.

John Kouraklis 60 Posted December 2 @Kas Ob. Yeah...there must be something seriously wrong. I tried the app you sent but it says that win store repair is disabled because win store frequent changes I then downloaded an updated win store repair wizard I found online and it is asking me to login to my email account. But when I try to add an email account the popup window shuts down. So the whole installation is damaged. I will not avoid a clean install. The only thing I am bored of is the installation of all delphi packages Gkrrr....10.4 is far, right 🙂 Share this post Link to post
