Microsoft Store hangs on startup under W10 after Win-slop

[cobrapl]

W10 Home (EDIT1: non-English if that matters), Winslop inspect/apply, restart, an attempt to run Microsoft Store, Microsoft Store opens fully or partially and hangs, Microsoft Store's cpu usage 100% of one thread, dwm.exe 100% of one thread. Microsoft Store unusable!

EDIT2: This is a second time it happens for me (perhaps those W10s were upgrades from W7/W8). Any MSSTORE reset/reinstall won't help. Some setting made with WinSlop bricks Microsoft Store.

EDIT3: "restore" did not help, the MsStore is bricked :(

Some additional info:

• both problematic machines were originally with W7 or W8 converted to W10 via an online updater.
• their hardware is different - one Laptop with Intel (older, maybe 5gen) + Nvidia Optimus, one PC with Igpu 4gen
• hoth were Win 10 Home
• I reinstalled the PC to another W10 and Winslop worked ok

did you run any plugins in winslop, especially the nx plugins?

there’ no native function that would otherwise mess up the store, unless you ran external plugins or used the apps tab in the top right to debloat your system, but even then its unlikely

[cobrapl]

If I recall correctly not, no external plugins.

The same machine I had problem with has MSSTORE destroyed after clean reinstall and the latest Winslop used. Default inspect results applied. Win10 IoT with MSSTORE installed later. So the common denominators seem to be: Win10 (any) and Intel 4-5gen (even with optimus Nvidia too).

NOTE: OOSU10 was used with "limited recommended" option.

I can confirm it is WINSLOP issue with default inspect/apply. I successfully reverted the changes, rebooted the machine and the problem solved. I may try today figuring out which option caused today...

that would be nice, i was just about to ask which settings are checked

[cobrapl]

The culprit is probably "Disable visual effects", however I already double-checked and was sue it was sth else. And the I triple-checked and the problem came back. After 5-6 restarts with "Disable visual effects" restored MSSTORE is not hanging anymore.

The setting "Disable visual effects" was fishy from the beginning because when I checked visual setting with this FIX ON, every setting was checked, and after RESTORE every setting was off.
