Hello,

After discovering that this repository breaks my windows store, I decided I want to remove it.

How do I remove the privacy/security features or restore my windows store?

Thanks in advance :)

Thanks for your report. Microsoft Store is not supposed to break using this baseline, so I did some digging and found a potential reason. Can you try to make sure the "Windows License Manager" service is running and see if this solves your problem?

Open "Services" as Administrator, find "Windows License Manager service", right-click, select Properties, change startup type to Automatic. Then right-click again and select "Start"

You can also uninstall the entire baseline by running the Uninstall.ps1 script in the Utils folder.
