Solved Microsoft Store Hasn't Worked On My SP3 for Months

[Todd Peters]

Here is a link to the image I get when I try to open the store:

I also attached the image as a file. Could anyone help me fix this?
Thank You! I'm willing to try anything.

If you experience trouble with Windows Store (updating apps, browsing the Store, etc), Search - wsreset, press and hold wsreset select Run as administrator on the menu.

I tried it, the screen went white for a minute, and then the same exact message popped up from before. Thank you for trying to help though!

A few of things that block the store:

• Some Internet Proxy Servers (Anonymizes Especially)
• UAC or Firewall is Disabled
• Over Aggressive Security Suites
• Time Sync Issues
• DNS Redirects

Well ill assume you can access the Internet
Might check the time and if you have windows updates pending. If they are not applying try running the Windows Update Troubleshooter.

I found this little gem...
Open a Command Prompt as Administrator
type or paste the following command:
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml
hit Enter.
Now in that same Administrator Command Prompt type or paste:
start "" "ms-windows-store:"

I tried this verbatim and received the same message. The problem first appeared when I had to do a system-reset by holding the volume-up and power button. After that I had to re-sync my time to time.windows.com and the store hasn't worked since. I also tried turning my firewall off and turning it to default settings.
Thank you guys again for trying to help. It means a lot.

Dumb question: Are you "verified" on that Surface?

 

[sharpuser]

Try changing the date and time on your Surface Pro 3 to either the correct date and time (if it is wrong), or a date in the near future, (like tomorrow), if it is currently correct. Then try the store.

 

[Todd Peters]

There is no such thing as dumb questions. :]
Yes of course I'm verified. I used the store from June til September and downloaded quite a few apps from the store in that time.

EDIT: I changed my date to two weeks in the future and tried to open the store again. No luck.

NEAR future, like tomorrow.

Crap. You can't even get it fixed for the next two weeks.

Seriously, a growing number of people are getting involved here. It might be a "Christmas Miracle" to get you fixed, but we will do it!
