About this tag
The store-not-working tag on WindowsForum.com covers issues where the Microsoft Store fails to function correctly, often after using workarounds to set up a local account during Windows installation. Users report that the command ms-cxh:localonly can bypass Microsoft account sign-in but breaks Store functionality and related apps like Notepad, Photos, and Windows Terminal. Affected users also find they cannot later switch to a Microsoft account. Discussions focus on troubleshooting these Store failures and restoring full app functionality.

    Windows 11 Local Account workaround "ms-cxh:localonly" no longer working

    It still works to let you install Windows using a local account instead of a microsoft account, but the microsoft store, and its related apps, including notepad, photos, and windows terminal, will not work properly, and you can't switch to a microsoft account either.
