The issue an the other answer stated was because AppX Deployment Service was disabled.Here's how to enable it:

1. press win + R
2. write regedit
3. press enter
4. goto Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppXSvc
5. on the right hand double click on start
6. put it to 2
7. press ok
8. restart your computer.

you've done it without any repairing or anything

What is the service for that is it disabled through services.msc.Which one is it?

The following services are required to install Windows Store UWP applications

• Client License Service (ClipSVC)
• AppX Deployment Service (AppXSVC)

This error is impossible in a normally-running Windows 10.

I would suggest doing the following:

1. Run sfc /scannowand see if it find anything to repair.
   If this doesn't help, continue.

2. Do a Repair Install of Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade.
   This operation, if successful, will conserve your apps and most of your Windows settings.

Before starting, I suggest to have good backups. If you can, take a backup image of the entire system hard disk.

I dont have 50 reputation but @steve moretz if you ever see this, NOTHING WORKED except for what you said :

press win + R write regedit press enter goto Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\AppXSvc on the right hand double click on start put it to 2 press ok restart your computer.

I had it set to 4 for FPS increase and my CPU/memory was taking up too much. My microsoft store would just open and immediately close until this was set back to 2!
