The above procedure moves the existing State Repository database files to a folder for backup purposes.<\/p>\n
Restart Windows. Or, click the Start button or an item in your notification area. This starts the State Repository service<\/strong> automatically and rebuilds<\/strong> the databases. A fresh set of StateRespository-* databases will be created. The newly built database will not contain information about your previously installed Store apps.<\/p>\n
