this will be a little irrelevant, but i need to address it here, as there is problem im facing with orchest docker setup. i tried installing dockers for orchest to run, then while setting it up, there is an option to setup WSL 2 for working of orchest without a trouble, which links you to the microsoft store. now while i was setting up orchest through dockers and when it gave me the option to choose the linux distro for the application to run, docker crashed my microsoft store, now i can't access it. it crashed while setting up dockers for orchest so is there any way i could solve it or any issue i might be missing ? please help!

Hi Vivan, what about reinstalling Docker? That might reinstate the Microsoft Store. Also, there could be Windows updates that might fix the Store. Have you checked those?
Just two ideas at the top of my head.

On your computer, are you running a Linux distribution like Ubuntu or Windows?

I actually use all three. I develop on Linux and use macOS and Windows for other things. But I run Orchest on all three. On Windows through WSL2 and on macOS through Docker for Desktop on macOS.

actually rick i tried what you suggested: reinstalling docker & reinstating the store tried installing the new updates and still no luck
i am on a windows system
i was all done with the setup of dockers and all containerisation techniques but when the window came where i need to install a linux distro of my choice from the microsoft store, i couldn't install any linux distro as it crashed and won't open after that
i tried repeating the process thinking there might be some missing files which might get reinstalled this time but little did i know that it was still in same state so what is the problem here?
