- And then simply choose run it’s going to pull up this so what you need to type in under opens wsreset dot exe and choose enter or simply choose ok.

- It’s gonna go away by itself once it’s done it might open up the microsoft store for you but the cmd prompt command window would be closed automatically and that’s how you would know that it has been successfully completed.
- The Microsoft store catch so now we’re going to close this and now we’re going to delete our location catches first thing you have to do is choose a start menu and then simply choose settings.
Open Windows powershell
