Hi, I'm Elise, a fellow user like yourself and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

Other users have had a similar issue to this, could you please try follow these steps to re-register the store app.

Could you open the powershell app as an administrator and copy in the following command and press enter

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

Now reboot your PC and this should allow you to use the store app again.

If this doesn’t work the next stage I would suggest is a repair upgrade, you can find steps on how to do this here:

When was the last time it worked properly? What is your current Windows operating system and version? Press Windows key+R to open Run then type: winver

If you have a third-party VPN or Antivirus installed, please try to temporarily uninstall it then check if the issue persists.

Please let me know if you have tried the methods below.

**Reset the Microsoft Store cache

Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box,

type wsreset.exe -i

and then select OK.

Note:

A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close, and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

**Check the Microsoft Store Install Service

Press the Windows Key + S and type in services.msc.

Find the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click, If the status is Running, right click it then select Restart

If disabled, change it to Automatic, click Start and click OK.

**Re-register and reinstall the Microsoft Store app

Press Windows key + X

Click and Run Windows PowerShell (Admin)

Copy and paste the command below then press Enter.

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Restart your computer

Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

Have you tried the procedure below?

1. Press "Windows + X" and select "Terminal (Admin)";
2. Type or paste the following command and press Enter:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

Note if the command will run correctly or will have a red message.

3. Restart the PC.

If you have already done this procedure or it doesn't help, let me know. Click on the "Reply" button below my reply.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

Thank you.

You have a few options here.

1. See if you have the Xbox app. If so, launch it, go through the initial set up or whatnot. Once all the way in, it might provide you a list of items with a yellow warning indicating issue with them. It might also provide you an installation option to install it. See if Store app is one of them. If so, you should be able to install it from there.
2. Go to Start > All apps, locate Powershell, right click and "run as admin". Run this command:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

3. If the computer was just set up out of box, you can also consider a factory reset to start over. Hold down Shift key while you choose Windows restart, then go to Troubleshoot > REset this PC.
4. Repair install is another option. To perform a repair istallation of Windows 11 using the Windows Media Creation Tool:

The following steps should be done on a working Windows computer:

Download the Windows Media Creation Tool from Microsoft's official website. https://www.microsoft.com/software-download/win... click on the "download now" button under "Create Windows 11 Installation Media"

Run the tool and select "Create installation media for another PC."

Choose "USB flash drive" as the media to use for the installation and select "Next."

Connect a USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space to your computer.

Select the USB flash drive you want to use, and then select "Next."

The tool will then download the required files and create the installation media.

=====================================================

Now these steps will  be done on your problematic computer:

Go to the USB drive via File Explorer, locate and run the Setup.exe file. Ideally, you should disconnect all USB and Bluetooth devices other than mouse and keyboard. Disable any 3rd party antivirus program. Disconnect the internet.

Once you run the Setup.exe file, choose the Install option, and the choose the option that keeps your files and apps.

So after imaging my windows 10 computer. I need to install windows photos from the app store… however I had to remove the app store so i could run sysprep on my image. Well I am having a hard time trying to get the windows store to come back on these computers so i can install windows photo. I have followed so many guides on how to reinstall the Microsoft store app. For some reason i just can not get it to reinstall for the life of me. it’s like there is no trace of the store left on the computers to reinstall it.

Has anyone ran in to this issue and if so how can i get the Microsoft store back.
