Windows Store doesn't work on other user accounts, but works with one user account

Question

Hi!

I have a Lenovo T14s laptop with Windows 10 Pro Version 20H2 installed. Windows Store doesn't work in the standard user account, while it works in the administrator account. When launching the Windows Store on the standard user account, it shows a message "This app can't open".

I tried all below options, Nothing worked

1. Run WSReset.exe.
2. Re-register Windows Store by running the following commands in PowerShell started as Administrator:
   PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
   $manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest

Any help?

Answer 1

Reinstall the Windows Store.

Answer 2

Hello,

Try re-registering Store app with different command. Perform these steps:

1. Open Windows PowerShell as administrator.
2. Then type following command and press Enter key: Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Let the command complete.

Close Windows PowerShell.

Let me know if issue still persists!

Answer 3

Hi,
You could try the following steps:
Press Win+R, type regedit , then HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System, and it corresponds to "FilterAdministratorToken" (see https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd835564%28v=ws.10%29.aspx?f=255&MSPPError=-2147217396 ) which you have to change from 0 (disabled - default setting) to 1 (enabled), according to this post.
Hope above information can help you.
