Microsoft Store is Removed. How Can I Reinstall It?
Easiest way to reinstall, that no one has mentioned. BTW, found this just now due to my struggle of getting it back and not wanting to factory reset in hopes it brings it back. Follow these steps: if you can manage to get the Xbox app installed onto your PC, open the Xbox app, click on your GAMERTAG/NAME, go to SETTINGS, go to General. There you will see a list of dependency apps that make the Xbox app function properly. Among the list is Microsoft Store, install. More on reddit.com

r/techsupport on Reddit: Microsoft Store is Removed. How Can I Reinstall It?
February 14, 2023 -

Hello. Today I had my computer formatted and installed Windows 10 Pro. The version is 10.0.10586. The Microsoft Store didn't open, I got a screen saying "try that again". I tried to solve this problem, I tried a few solutions and then I typed the following command into the command line and hit enter:

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

After doing so, the Microsoft Store was removed. I tried to install it again but I couldn't. Help me.

Press the Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box. Type "cmd" and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to open an elevated Command Prompt. In the Command Prompt, type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage WindowsStore -allusers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} This command will reinstall the Microsoft Store app on your system. Once the command has completed, close the Command Prompt and try opening the Microsoft Store again. If the store still won't open, try running the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter. To do this, go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters > Windows Store Apps > Run the troubleshooter. If the troubleshooter doesn't resolve the issue, you can try resetting the Microsoft Store app. To do this, go to Settings > Apps > Apps & features > Microsoft Store > Advanced options > Reset. If none of these solutions work, you can try reinstalling Windows 10 using the Media Creation Tool or a Windows 10 installation disk. Make sure to back up your important files and data before doing so. Note: It's important to be careful when using PowerShell commands, as they can have unintended consequences if entered incorrectly. Make sure to double-check the command before entering it into the Command Prompt.

r/sysadmin on Reddit: How to re-install the Windows Store
October 19, 2021 -

I have a group of Windows 10 workstations that previously had the group policies "Disable All Apps from the Microsoft Store" and "Turn of the Store application."

Now because of reasons these machines need the Microsoft Camera app installed. After turning off the GPO's, I'm still unable to install either the Windows Store or the Camera app.

I've tried the following

  1. running wsreset.exe

  2. removing and re-installing all store apps with "Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)\appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}"

  3. Downloading and installing with the appxbundle for the camera app from MS Store for Business

  4. Trying to reinstall the Windows Store with "Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}"

  5. Removing and re-adding the user profile

Short of reimaging the machine, does anyone know another way to reinstall the Windows Store.
