Users are also experiencing issues while downloading and installing apps and games from Store.

If you are also experiencing an issue with the Store app and none of the solutions out there on the web helped you fix the issue, you can consider resetting the Store app before reinstalling the Store app.

Yes, starting with Anniversary Update (version 1607), Windows 10 allows you reset default apps, including the Store. Microsoft also recommends you reset the Store if the app is not working right.

NOTE: If you’re using a Microsoft account to sign in to Windows 10, resetting the Store will not sign you out of Store. However, if you are using a local user account, you will need to sign in to Store again after resetting the Store app to buy apps or see your purchase history.
