Today I discovered a way to reset the cache  for Windows Store. What it does, is that it resets the Windows Store without changing account settings or deleting installed apps.

Reset Windows Store Cache with WSReset.exe

The process is a lot easy and simple:

• Go to Windows Modern UI screen
• Type in WSReset.exe

• Click on Run as administrator

Windows Store will open and you’ll get a conformation message saying that: The cache for the Store was cleared. You can now browse the Store for apps.

It will the take you back to Windows Store. Now try to install or update the apps or download fresh apps and see if it’s working like it should.

I hope you find this tip helpful.
