Windows Store on Windows 10 currently force closing, no explanation why [Updated]

Ron

If you fire up the Windows Store on Windows 10 right now, you will notice the app force closes within a few seconds while loading. You are not alone. We’ve been receiving emails from tipsters informing us of this issue (thanks Clarence and Markus!) and no word from Microsoft as to why this is occurring.
Let’s hope Microsoft resolves this issue before the start of the weekend. Are you experiencing this issue too? Let us know in the comments below. We’ll keep you posted as we learn more.
Update: Microsoft has responded via Twitter saying they are looking into the matter. The Windows Store app appears to be working again, at least for me. How about you?
