      2. type SERVICES.MSC and press the enter key
      3. right click on APPLICATION IDENTITY and select START
      4. A reboot is not required...............ENJOY!!!
      •  Third Method: Use DISM Command
                 A third fix I have used successfully is:
      1. Create a new user and log into it
      2. Right click on the START button and select COMMAND PROMPT (RUN AS ADMINSTRATOR)
      3. Type dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
      4. Restart the PC
      5. Log back into the problematic profile hopefully you’ll find the store and apps work again
      • Forth Method: Power-Shell Command To Re-register Packages
                 A forth fix I found came directly from Microsoft Partner support:
      1. Press Windows Key + R on your keyboard.
      2. Key in PowerShell and hit Enter.
      3. Right click on the PowerShell icon on the taskbar and select Run as Administrator.
      4. Now paste the following command in the Administrator: Windows PowerShell window and press Enter key:
        Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
      5. Wait for PowerShell to execute and complete the command. Ignore the few errors (in red color) that may pop up.
      6. When it finishes, try hitting Start and hopefully it’ll start working. This is My Best Bet!
