    Some users reported that you can’t install Windows Store upadtes or any other updates if your date and time are wrong. So, make sure to get your time and date settings right before trying to update the Windows Store.

    6. Reinstall a problematic app

    If you have a problem with a certain app, it may block the entire Store. So, go through all the apps installed on your computer, find and uninstall the troublesome one.

    You can find the list of all the installed apps in Settings > Apps > Apps & features.

    7. Perform the SFC scan

  • Go to Search, type cmd, right-click Command Prompt, and go to Run as Administrator.

  • Choose to Uninstall updates.

  • Windows updates are crucial for the system’s functioning. So crucial that some updates even determin whether your system will work better, or become broken. Because of that, it takes installing just one Windows update to solve your problem. And that’s what we’re going to do now.

    To check for new updates, simply go to Settings > Updates & Security, and check for updates. If a new update is available, the app will install it automatically.

    But as I said, a broken update can also cause a handful of issues. So, if installing a new update didn’t sovle the problem, try with uninstalling the most recent update. Maybe you’ll get more lucky.

    That would be all, after performing these solutions your Microsoft Store should be able to receive new updates on a regular basis.
