I can’t open certain taskbar features like the calendar, sound, and notifications. The Microsoft Store opens for just a second before closing, and I can’t use any apps from it, including WhatsApp and Calculator. This problem has been going on for about six months or more, and I still haven’t found a solution. I really need to fix this because some apps I need are only available through the Microsoft Store.

    Hi,

    Have you installed all updates for the Windows?

    Open start and search for cmd and right click and run as administrator and then type the following commands:

    sfc /scannow

    Press enter and let it runs and see what the result is.

    Try run the following commands too:

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth

    DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Hi, I'm Henry! I will help you with this.

    It sounds like your Windows system is experiencing a deeper issue affecting multiple features, including the taskbar functions and Microsoft Store apps. You can reference these below steps to troubleshoot and fix the problem:

    1. Reset the Microsoft Store Cache

    • Press Win + R, type wsreset.exe, and hit Enter.

    • A blank Command Prompt window will appear—wait for it to close automatically.

    • The Microsoft Store should restart.

    2. Run the Windows Store Troubleshooter

    • Open Settings → System → Troubleshoot → Other troubleshooters.

    • Scroll down and select Windows Store Apps.

    • Click Run and follow the instructions.

    3. Restart Essential Windows Services

    • Press Win + R, type services.msc, and hit Enter.

    • Find Microsoft Store Install Service and Windows License Manager Service.

    • Right-click each service, select Restart, and set them to Automatic.

    4. Repair or Reset Microsoft Store

    • Open Settings → Apps → Installed apps.

    • Find Microsoft Store, click Advanced options.

    • Click Repair first. If that doesn’t work, click Reset.

    5. Re-register Microsoft Store via PowerShell

    • Open Windows PowerShell (Admin) and run: Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    • Restart your PC.

    **6. Check for Corrupted System Files

    • Open Command Prompt (Admin) and run: sfc /scannow

    • If errors are found, run: DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    Let me know if these steps help resolve the issue.
