[QUOTE="Rod, post: 1820185, member: 204485"] One way or another the App Store app is refusing to function and as its an integral part of the macOS and cannot be deleted and reinstalled independently a reinstall of the OS seems like the only way. I can't help thinking this may have something to do with the OS itself and changes that have been made to the filing system since HFS+ but regardless of the cause if a new copy of the app is required reinstalling the OS is the only way I can think of to get a fresh copy. My concern would be that the process using the Restore Partition may fail for the same reason and as the OP can't download a new installer from the App Store they may need to do this on the other device and create a USB drive bootable installer. I suppose its why I keep banging on about cloning. I haven't used MA assistant since I started using C.C.C. [/QUOTE]
