    Windows store not loading after Windows reset

    Hi hoping someone can help me out I had to reset windows 10 and now windows 10 wont load when I click it it just gives a spinning circle then closes.

    Screenshot (89).jpg

    Plus Skype was giving an error unable to open

    Search wasn't working.

    So I did some research and found this https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/...oes-not-launch

    I realised that the regional setting was set to Afghanistan and every time I set to United Kingdom it would revert back to Afghanistan so I searched up on region settings not changing and found this https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...7-91c1060561a0

    I had to open
    REGEDIT but was unable to find the GEO key under

    Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\International

    So I thought I try and create one but was denied access - "no permissions".

    So I right clicked on the key, selected "permissions" ADDED my user ID, "Checked Names", and set the permissions to FULL CONTROL. GEO key appeared and UK was set.

    So now I was able to change settings to UK and restarted my laptop and the settings saved.

    Search now works but still the same windows store wont open plus Skype preview says We cant sign in due to regional polices.

    Other things I have tried is:


    Reset the Store cache:
    Press Windows + R keys to open the run command box.
    Type WSReset, then try launching Store and sign in.

    Still the same.

    I have tried using windows power shell and using

    powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml

    Result:

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml' because it does not exist.
    At line:1 char:1
    + Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register C:\WINDOWS\WinStore ...
    + ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\WINDOWS\WinStore\AppxManifest.xml:String) [Add-AppxPackage], ItemNotFoundException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager .Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand


    Hopefully someone can help me out before I need to do a complete reinstall thanks

    It doesn't exist on my Win10 system either, so that's not your problem.

    No, you don't really. That's an old copy of your windows partition (C:) not the Windows folder within it.

    You seem to be having problems everywhere (or at least in several places). So don't assume it's just a Winstore problem. It appears to be more fundamental.
    Why did you have to reset in the first place?
