This tool immediately starts looking for the problems inside the Microsoft Store and addresses them (if found any).

3] Reset Microsoft Store via Settings

Unnecessarily stored cache or temporary files on your system may also prevent Windows Store from functioning properly. If that’s the case, simply clear the stored cache using this quick guide –

Alternatively, you may also reset the Windows Store by running a single-line code on the command prompt. However, make sure to open the Windows Console as an Administrator. The code that you require to run here is – 

WSReset.exe

• When this code runs successfully, come out of the prompt area and Reboot your device.

4] Repair Windows Store using PowerShell

If the error 0x80D05001 persists even after this, the Store files must have become corrupted. To resolve such damaged files, follow the below guideline –

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted –Command “& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + ‘\AppxManifest.xml’ ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}”

• After executing this code successfully, close the PowerShell window and Restart your computer.

5] Manually Install Windows Updates

If you haven’t upgraded your operating system for a long time, there may occur some compatibility issues. This may cause a 0x80D05001 issue while starting any Store apps on the computer. So, better check if there lie any pending updates or not. Here’s how to perform this task manually –

Settings (Win + I) > Update & Security > Windows Update

• This may take some time to find any pending updates for your PC.

• If the UAC window prompts, tap Yes to authorize the access. 
• Next, copy/paste the below code in the terminal area and hit Enter –

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
