You can try the following
  • Create a second admin account and log into it
  • Navigate to C:\Users\<username>\appdata\local\microsoft\Windows and rename the UsrClass.dat file to UsrClass.dat.old (this file is normally hidden
  • Reboot
  • Login with the affected user and test
 
It would be helpful to know the Make/Model of your computer you are having this problem with.
That being said, take a look at this post: Windows Store won't work. The procedures in this Post should help you fix it. :up:

If the problem persists after trying the above, it would help us to know whether the computer you are using came with W10 pre-loaded on it from the factory when you bought it, or if you upgraded from an earlier version of windows such as Win7 or Win8/8.1?

It might clear up some things if we knew the EXACT version of W10 you are running as there are now dozens of versions out there since W10 release date of 7.29.2015. Click on the Start button in W10, and use the <windows-logo-key> + <R-key>which brings up the run command box. Type in the command "winver" into and W10 will pop up a box similar to this:
W10 WINVER CMD STUDIO540 9-17-16.JPG

**NOTE: we need both the Version number (ver.1511 here) as well as the OS Build number (B10586.589) show in the picture above here in the Red Box.

Please post this information back to this thread and we can advise you further.:)

Thanks,
