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 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.
