something happened and the windows store is no longer working. Please restart your PC and try again. If this problem continues, you might need to refresh Windows on your PC.

Simple fix. As a Senior Systems Administrator... This is a must! Open command prompt as admin, and type "wsreset" and wait patiently for a few minutes. But make sure the store app is closed before you type this.

"1. Take ownership of: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\AppRepository (Tutorial for this, if needed.)
2. Delete "PackageRepository.edb". You should also delete the edb.log and edb(numberxxx).log files. (I did NOT delete any XML files because I have so many unrelated ones in that folder).
3. And then, reboot your device.
Hopefully, this solves your problem! If not, let me know, and I'll try to find another solution.

I remember this happened when cortana failed in event viewer and I was unable to use the windows search bar for weeks very annoying but Im guessing you're not facing the same thing. I had some kind of store activation error as well in event viewer though.
