      Do you’ve still the issue with start menu? Are you using any third-party antivirus on your computer like Avast, have you performed a clean install? If not do that or you can reset it from with in Windows by opening Settings app> update & Security > Recovery >(get Started) under ‘Reset This PC’, all issues will be resolved.

    Great worked for me. Store just flashed up then disappeared.
    Now it opens and is doing update.

      Try to run Windows apps troubleshooter and see it helps. link: http://aka.ms/diag_apps10
      After that if store doesn’t opens, run the powershell command mentioned in the article and see it works. I request you to try to clear folder and other files in this location on your computer: C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache.
