 ====== Office Activation and MS App Issues ======
 I have recently ran into issues on Windows 10 with the App Store missing or unable to open, the calculator not working (how did MS mess that one up), and Office having activation issues.  The first time seemed to be a fluke. After all, it was right after a factory reset. The second time was after a hardware repair with Windows cleanup and update.  Seems like these things are new Windows features. Here are some steps I took to get things working again.
+Make sure Windows and Office applications are up to date.
 If you get error **0x80070005** in Office applications, you can try to fix the issue by updating the registry.

 **Note:**  Uncheck the box to let the organization control the device and use the link to log in to the application only. This seems to bypass some additional checks.
+Run a System File Check on your operating system. Open a command prompt/PowerShell with administrator rights, type **sfc /scannow**, and then press **Enter**.
+===== MS App Store =====
+Try running **wsreset.exe** to see if that does the trick. I found that this process was timing out, so it was a more involved issue.
+Run the troubleshooter:
+Select the Start button, and then select Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.
+Check the Microsoft Store Install Service
+Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.
+Find the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click, If the status is Running, click Restart
+If Disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.
+Reset the Microsoft Store app in Windows 10
+Open Settings.
+Go to Apps -> Apps & features.
+On the right side, look for Microsoft Store and click it.
+The advanced options link will appear. Click it.
+On the next page, click on the Reset button to reset Microsoft Store to default settings
+Uninstall the Store:
+Press Windows key + X
+Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator
+Now Type: get-appxpackage *WindowsStore* | remove-appxpackage
+Enter then proceed to reinstall Store
+Reinstall the Store:
+Press Windows key + X
+Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator
+At the command prompt, copy-paste the following then hit Enter:
