The Windows Feedback Hub is an app that enables you to provide input for Microsoft. With that app you can provide some suggestions to make Windows better. You can also join a Windows Insider Programme for the latest updates. However, the app isn’t a lot of good if it isn’t opening. Here are a few ways that you can fix the Windows Feedback Hub if it’s not working.

Reset the Windows Store Apps

  • The Windows Store window will then open when the cache is cleared.

Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

If you still can’t open the Feedback Hub, check out the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter. This is a Microsoft tool that can fix apps. It scans your system and then fixes apps.

  • Open this page and then click Run troubleshooter to save the tool to Windows.
  • Then open the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter from your default Downloads folder.

Run the  KB3092053 Troubleshooter

Finally, there’s also another troubleshooter you can fix apps with. Microsoft launched the KB3092053 troubleshooter specifically to fix apps not launching on Windows 10 systems with multiple user accounts. So if you have multiple user accounts, this might also fix the Feedback Hub.

  • Open this website page and click the Troubleshooter hyperlink. That will save cssemerg70008.diagcab to Windows.
  • Now click cssemerg70008.diagcab to open the window in the snapshot directly below.
