The Microsoft Store app and other Windows Apps under its umbrella (Skype, the Feedback Hub, purchased games) all close instantly upon loading, and there is no error message.


The event viewer log always shows a message that says:


Unable to start a DCOM Server: Microsoft.WindowsStore_11804.1001.10.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe!App as Unavailable/Unavailable. The error:
"5"
Happened while starting this command:
"C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11804.1001.10.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WinStore.App.exe" -ServerName:App.AppXc75wvwned5vhz4xyxxecvgdjhdkgsdza.mca



That is now. Before doing a repair upgrade, the message was always:


"The server {D7FD466D-F6CF-4C8E-86DD-12E9B0FDAE48} did not register with DCOM within the required timeout."


I now also see another from something that says:


The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Activation permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
[not sure if this should stay private or not]
and APPID
{9CA88EE3-ACB7-47C8-AFC4-AB702511C276}
to the user [my user information] from address LocalHost (Using LRPC) running in the application container Unavailable SID (Unavailable). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.



I have tried:

  • Doing a repair upgrade.

  • Resetting the store and its apps.

  • Using Powershell commands:
    • Get-appxpackage -packageType bundle |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “appxmetadataappxbundlemanifest.xml”)}
    • $bundlefamilies = (get-appxpackage -packagetype Bundle).packagefamilyname
    • get-appxpackage -packagetype main |? {-not ($bundlefamilies -contains $_.packagefamilyname)} |% {add-appxpackage -register -disabledevelopmentmode ($_.installlocation + “appxmanifest.xml”)}
      • After doing the repair upgrade, these commands now only return error messages about the files in question not existing.
  • Running the troubleshooter from here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-ph/help/4027498/microsoft-store-fix-problems-with-apps
    • This returned the error message:
      ms-windows-store:PurgeCaches

      Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file. You may not have the appropriate permissions to access the item.


  • Installing all Windows updates.

  • Making a handful of registry and folder ownership/permission changes recommended on various sites, though I cannot remember them all, and this was before doing the repair upgrade, so theoretically they are undone. I'd certainly try any you recommend.
