4] Reset Microsoft Store Cache

Maybe the problem is with the cache data of the Microsoft Store app. If cache data is corrupted, it can also cause issues with this app. The app may open and work properly except for some sections like Gaming and Apps. And, when the user tries to access such sections, he/she encounters the problem. So, in this case, you should reset or clear the Microsoft Store cache. The steps are:

1. If the Microsoft Store app is opened, close it completely
2. Open the Run Command box using Win+R hotkey
3. Type wsreset.exe in the text field
4. Hit the Enter key.

A Command Prompt box will open and close automatically and the Microsoft Store app will also open. Now you should be able to access Gaming and other sections and use the Microsoft Store app without any trouble.

5] Use a different user account

It might be possible that this problem is limited to a particular user account only. If this is the case, you should use a different user account and check if you are able to open and use the Microsoft Store app properly. For this, you can either create a new user account or sign in to an existing user account on your PC.

If the Microsoft Store app works fine and you can access all the sections without trouble, then there might be some issue with that particular user profile where you are getting this error 0x000001F4.

I hope this helps.
