Service registration is missing or corrupt

Caching298 · Nov 29, 2023

Hi there,

I recently updated Sea of Thieves on the microsoft store. When I updated it, my computers time was incorrect as I had travelled overseas. After updating, the game would run for a few seconds before closing. I tried troubleshooting with the forums and tried changing the time, language, and region but it didn't work. After I tried this, the app refused to open.

I ran the windows store apps diagnostic and it now says "Service registration is missing or corrupt". How do I fix this, and get the game to open properly?

Thanks

:)

The error message I get after running the troubleshooter is : Service registration is missing or corrupt.

I'm having the same problem since the last Windows Update. After running diagnosis it says: Service registration is missing or corrupt. Anyone knows how to fix this? How can I reset the service registration?

I also ran the windows store apps troubleshooter and the two errors that came up were

-Hanging or crashing apps

-service registration is missing or corrupt

No advice on how to resolve these two issues though.

I'm having this exact problem and I ran the diagcab. It found four problems, of which it solved two.

It could not fix 'Service registration is missing or corrupt' (shows a red cross) and it did only establish that 'Windows Store-configuration is possibly corrupt' (shows a yellow exclamation mark).

It fixed 'Several security settings are missing or were changed' and 'Windows Store-cache is possibly corrupt' (those show green checkmarks).
