Fix My Library in Microsoft Store is Blank or Empty in Windows 10

-Windows Store, now known as Microsoft sore is the house of apps classified into different categories allowing users to install on Windows 10. My Library section, residing there shows All owned, Installed, Ready to install, Downloads, and Included with device applications. Some users, recently, reported that this area is absolutely blank and they can’t find anything in My Library. Instead, they see only a message here – Add some app. There is nothing in your library.

I also found My Library in Microsoft Store is Blank or Empty in Windows 10 despite I have installed a good number of apps and games. Luckily I got a trick that helped me to observe the list.
