      When trying to download an app from the windows store website an error is thrown instead of opening the windows store app. There is no mention of ms-windows-store in the windows settings (Settings> Default apps > Choose default applications by protocol)

      ERROR MESSAGE:
      Unknown protocol

      Opera was unable to open the link since no application associated with "ms-windows-store:" protocol was found on your system.

      EXAMPLE WEB ADDRESS:
      www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/p/sketchable

      OS:
      Windows 10 latest

      OPERA:
      41.0.2353.46

        It's because Opera can't handle the store protocol.
        Try setting Windows Store as the default handler for that protocol and see if it helps.
