How To Resolve the “Try That Again” Error in Microsoft Store and Reload the Page
If the message “Try That Again” keeps popping up in the Microsoft Store, it’s kinda annoying. This problem isn’t rare — often it’s some hiccup within the app, your internet, or system glitches. Fixing it isn’t too complicated, but you gotta go through a few steps. Here’s what’s worked on several setups, and maybe it’ll work for yours too.
Method 1: Reset the Microsoft Store Cache
This is the go-to move — clearing out the cache can fix a surprising number of loading or hanging issues. Basically, it forces the Store to start fresh, without cached data messing things up.
- Hit Windows + S to bring up the search.
- Type in
wsreset.exeand click on it once it shows up. - A blank command prompt flashes open, then closes, and the Microsoft Store automatically launches. If you spot the error again, no worries — this sometimes takes a couple tries, or a reboot before it sticks.
It’s weird, but on some machines, this resets the Store perfectly on the first shot, while others need a reboot or a second run. Doesn’t totally make sense, but hey, worth a shot.
Method 2: Repair the Microsoft Store App
If clearing cache didn’t help, the next thing is to repair the app directly from Settings. That can fix broken files or misconfigurations within the app’s installation.
- Open the search bar again (Windows + S) and type Microsoft Store.
- Right-click the app in the search results and choose Apps & Features.
- Scroll down to find Microsoft Store, then click it.
- Click on Advanced options — sometimes this step is hidden a bit, but look for it.
- Hit the Repair button first — don’t worry, it won’t delete your data. Just repairs what’s corrupted.
- After it finishes, test if the error sticks around. If it does, maybe try the next step.
Method 3: Reset the Microsoft Store App
If repairing didn’t cut it, resetting is the nuclear option — it resets the app to default state, removing any weird settings or corrupt files that repairing missed.
- Same as before, open Apps & Features for Microsoft Store.
- Scroll down to find Reset — usually a button at the bottom of the app’s advanced options.
- Click Reset. You’ll get a warning about data loss — but don’t sweat it, this just resets settings.
- Once it finishes, open the Store and see if the “Try That Again” error still shows up. Sometimes, this fixes the issue permanently, but other times, a reboot or more advanced fix might be needed.
Method 4: Reinstall the Store Using PowerShell
This is kinda drastic, but it does the trick if the app’s really broken. You’ll need to run a special command in PowerShell to uninstall and then reinstall the Store.
- Open the search bar, Windows + S, and search for PowerShell.
- Right-click it and select Run as administrator. Accept the UAC prompt.
- Copy and paste this command into the PowerShell window:
- Hit Enter and wait. It’ll uninstall then reinstall the Store. Be patient — sometimes it hangs for a bit, or you get errors about permissions or missing files, which can be due to weird permissions or system quirks.
- After that, restart your PC and test the Store again.
Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Remove-AppxPackage; Start-Sleep -Seconds 5; Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Extra Tips & Common Quirks
Sometimes, trouble with the Store is just network or date/time sloppiness. Double-check that your PC’s time & language settings are right — under Settings > Time & Language. Also, make sure your internet connection is actually stable and fast enough. You’d think that’s obvious, but some flaky Wi-Fi can cause weird errors.
And yeah, always check for Windows updates — of course, because Windows has to make fixing things more complicated than necessary. Sometimes, a pending update or patch is the fix you didn’t know you needed.
Summing It Up
- Clear the cache with wsreset.exe
- Repair or reset the Store app via Settings
- If needed, reinstall via PowerShell
- Check your internet and date/time
- Keep Windows updated
Hopefully, this shaves off a few hours for someone. The Store giving errors like this can be frustrating, but these tricks have helped out in many cases. If it still isn’t working, that might be time to hit up Microsoft support — or just wait for another update to fix whatever broke.
