Hi Vince,
Pls follow "Method 2" ("Download the Microsoft Store installer") in the Reinstall Microsoft Store article.
After you download the Msixbundle and Appx packages, you can double-click to install them. Install the Appx (dependency packages) first, and then run the Msixbundle file.
If you can't install the packages interactively, you can install them using the Add-AppxPackage PowerShell command.

I recently installed Windows 10 version 1803, and I’m surprised at how fast it runs on my older PC. However, I ran into a problem because there’s no Microsoft Store, and I can’t use winget because it requires version 1809 or later. Is there a way I can manually install apps that are normally only available through the Microsoft Store? Any workarounds or alternative methods would be really helpful
The above methods didnt work but i found a very perfect method to fix ms store.
- First install this software
https://github.com/QuestYouCraft/Microsoft-Store-UnInstaller
Uninstall microsoft store via this software.
- Now reinstall microsoft store via this process
Press Windows key + X
Click Windows PowerShell (Admin)
At the command prompt, type the following then hit Enter:
Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
The website to download appx packages is not working at all
For some reason,
"Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"
Does not work for me. It seems to do nothing after I press enter. It just opens a new line in the Administrator PowerShell and appears to do nothing. Am I doing anything wrong? Microsoft Store does not seem to appear anywhere...
I got an error from command prompt:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsStore*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\AppxManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

The PowerShell one did have the scrolling blue and red text, but my Microsoft Store, and apparently all my default apps, are still missing from all users.
