Thank you.
You have a few options here.
- 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.
- 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"}
- 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.
- 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.

Hello, this is Emily.
Is this a brand new computer (no former user) or a refurbished/used computer? Just want to make sure if it might be due to group policy issue, especially if previous owner is a business.
Also, can you please type winver in the search on the taskbar and hit enter, when launched, share a screenshot please?
Thanks!

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.

- Type or paste the following command and press Enter:

Note if the command will run correctly or will have a red message.
- 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.
It failed to work, leaving only a red message
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:

I had this problem as well for 6 months+ and it drove me nuts!
I ended up terminating my Xbox gold subscription as I couldn't install any Xbox games from the Microsoft store, but my kid forced me to get it fixed to play Minecraft, so 12 hours later ;-)
my solution was:
-Click start, type Powershell and run it as administrator
-Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit Enter
get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage –allusers
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN
Reinstalling the store might also do the trick (that you can bing or google that separate).
Please MS, get this freaking thing FIXED so the store knows what wrong instead of just going into stupide mode and doing nothing!..
Hope it helps!
