Can't download apps in Win10

Not sure what I did (or was done to me) but I can no longer download from the MS Store. I click on the Get App button and some ginormous URL is generated, but nothing is done with it and the computer just sits there. I can do this all day long and nothing happens. This occurred about the same time that other apps (MS Weather, for example) disappeared from the start menu. Any ideas? Thanks very much in advance.

I don't have a clue, but if I had that problem, this is where I'd start:

I had almost the same problem last week. I found I had some corrupted windows files, and DLLs. I backed up my computer, and searched for .IOS and did a full Windows reload. Google the IOS file but only download it from Microsoft. Takes a while, but you'll be starting a new. For Windows 10 by the way.
