Key notes
Microsoft Store is a free app that helps you browse, purchase and manage your digital content. With Microsoft Store, you can enjoy your favorite movies, music, TV shows, and apps on your Windows PC or device.
That being said, it is more useful when you want to open it intentionally rather than having it open itself randomly. Elsewhere, users also complained about theMicrosoft Store not openingbut we have already addressed that in our detailed guide.
Why does my Microsoft Store keep opening?
Wondering why the Microsoft Store keeps opening? Here are some possible reasons:
How do I stop the Microsoft Store from popping up randomly?
As always, a few preliminary checks could save the day. These include:
1. Scan for viruses
2. Reset Microsft Store cache
The Microsoft Store will be closed temporarily so that its cache can be cleared out. When you reopen it after running this command, any problems with your installation should be resolved because all of your old data has been deleted from its servers.
The process may take a while, so if you are working on something, you may want to postpone this process until such a time when you are ready.
3. Repair and reset the Microsoft Store app
If none of the above methods work for you, considerreinstalling the Microsoft Storeorstarting Windows in Safe Mode.This will allow the OS to start with only a minimal set of critical services and possibly establish the issue.
