Starting with Windows 10 Anniversary update build, Microsoft has introduced an option to reset Windows 10 apps. The Store app is one of the many apps that you can reset to fix issues. The app can be reset by navigating to Settings > Apps > Apps & Features.

Resetting the Store app will clear all data saved by the Store app on your current device as well as remove your sign-in details. This means that you will need to sign-in to the Store all over again.

    Must be a different version of Windows 10; my screen in SYSTEM does not have the links this screen does. Looks like I’m going to have to use another program to view my photos form this point forward. What happened to the good days of Windows 7? All of a sudden after fixing a startup issue now I can’t view any of my photos in the PHOTO app, says something about adequate permissions. I am the admin on this computer. I’ll go with another default program rather than spend hours going over videos on how to fix problems with Microsoft’s default apps.
