It acts like it is trying to load but just stays there. On the result which appears, right-click and select Run as administrator.

Clear Microsoft Windows Store Cache with WSReset.exe

The process is a lot easy and simple. Run CMD as administrator, type WSReset.exe and hit Enter.

Hi Brandon,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community Forums.

From the issue description, I understand that you are unable to download and install Apps from Windows Store.

Let me ask you few questions.

1) What is the exact/complete error message?
2) Have you installed any third party antivirus or security software?

3) Have you made any recent changes to the computer?

I suggest you to perform the following troubleshooting steps and check if the issue persists. The issue might be causing because of the third party security software or using proxy settings in Internet Explorer.

By doing this, the browser doesn't have to newly retrieve files (including any images) from the remote web site each time you click Back or Forward. You should periodically clear the cache to allow your browser to function more efficiently.

Method 4: Temporality disable security software and check for the issue.

Please disable the Microsoft or any Security Systems if you have on your system.

Important Note: Security software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
