Personal experience: I have personally used this method to reinstall Windows apps, including the Microsoft Store app, on my own devices. It has always worked well for me and resolved any issues I was facing with the app. However, it is important to note that reinstalling the app will not fix any underlying issues with your device or other apps, so if you continue to experience problems, you may need to seek further assistance.
