I then need to hard reset.
I've been away from here awhile but recently did a Mojave install. All went well except for the lockup after clicking on the app store.
I have read some posts here that mention a few possible fixes but they refer to laptops. I did a desktop install.
I'm a little rusty especially with installing kexts.
Any help to point me in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thanks!

I fixed it.
I had to install 3 kexts to /Library/Extensions using KextBeast.
Working fine now :)
 
Which ones out of interest?

The ones I installed are:
Whatevergreen.kext
Lilu.kext

The 3rd one I don't think had any effect on the app store locking up. It is Intelgraphichsfixup.kext

Whatevergreen replaced or incorporated that kext. Remove it and rebuild caches.
 
Huh?
I have no clue what that means.
Can you be more specific with instructions?
Thanks
 
In Terminal, type:

Code:
sudo rm -rf /Library/Extensions/IntelGraphicsFixup.kext
(you will be prompted for a password; type your login password)
Code:
sudo kextcache -i /

Then reboot.
 
Remove the intwlgraphicsfixupkext then follow the rebuild instructions.

Whatevergreen has replaced the need for intelgraphicsfixupkext, nvidiagraphicsfixupkext, and Shikikext. If you use them together it can cause problems.
 
Thanks guys!
Mission accomplished per your instructions.
