Microsoft Store

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...

Hi Mod,

I'm Christine, a Windows user like you. I can see here that MS Store is missing on your Windows 11 device. No worries, I'll do my best to help you.

May I know if you have signed in your Microsoft Account already since the MS Store app may not be available if you're signed in to a local account.
Did you sign in a work or school account or a personal account?

Please check and follow the steps below:

1. Please check the Windows update section and make sure that Windows update will be installed.
   https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/upd...
2. Reset MS Store
   Please press Windows key + R and type wsreset.exe and hit enter.
   Wait for it to finish and load the MS Store.
   Once MS Store is up, please check if the issue still persists.
3. Repair Windows Store apps and Settings

Click Start Menu and type Powershell, right click on it and choose Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below and hit enter.

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Once the process is finished, restart the PC and check if the issue still persists.

Please let me know the result. I'll be happy to assist you all the way until it's resolved.

Thank you,

Hi,

Purchased a computer from Best Buy too. Has windows 11 on it but no Microsoft store.

I have tried your above solution 3 :

"3. Repair Windows Store apps and Settings
Click Start Menu and type Powershell, right click on it and choose Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below and hit enter.
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

But it doesn't walk. i got this message:
