Windows Store endless loading screen

2

1

Whenever I open Windows Store, it's just stuck in an endless (my patience ended after 30 minutes) loading screen. Other apps, such as Skype, work fine. It's only Windows Store that doesn't work.

So far I've tried

  • Installing all available Windows updates & restarting
  • Starting Store from apps.windows.com and start menu
  • Running wsreset.exe
  • Running apps.diagcab (more on this below)
  • Re-registering Store
  • Running sfc /scannow (returns a very long CBS.log, and I'm not sure what I'm looking for there)
  • Running DISM

Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them.

Windows Store Apps

My display drivers are the latest available and I'm only running Windows Defender as antivirus.

I would use DISM to repair your corrupted windows insallation. – Ramhound – 2014-06-12T11:09:37.153

@Ramhound tried it now, didn't help. – 3ventic – 2014-06-12T12:06:31.330

Post the generated log for the action you performed. – Ramhound – 2014-06-12T12:08:17.883

@Ramhound posted the logs for both sfc and dism – 3ventic – 2014-06-12T13:40:24.540

Do you get the same issue when you perform a clean boot? If the answer is yes, then try checking the disk for errors by running chkdsk C: /r from an elevated command prompt (in case you haven't already). According to the CBS.log you posted, there's a couple of WebAdministration.mfl files which are corrupted. They are part of the Microsoft-Windows-IIS-ManagementScriptingTools.Resources package, so they shouldn't have anything to do with the Windows Store app.

@3ventic What DISM command did you run exactly? – Ramhound – 2014-06-12T14:07:12.447

@Ramhound Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth – 3ventic – 2014-06-12T14:13:59.657

@and31415 same issue after clean boot and running chkdsk C: /r – 3ventic – 2014-06-12T18:34:49.420

@3ventic Run the dism and sfc commands again (in that order) and post here the logs. You might want to copy the files to the desktop and compress them in a .zip/.7z archive before uploading them. – and31415 – 2014-06-13T06:47:09.947

What ended up fixing this was renaming the cache folder located at C:\Users\<Your User Account>\AppData\Local\Packages\WinStore_<some characters>\LocalState. After that the store launched fine.
