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!

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 "

Hi John Dev, i currently have windows 10 2004 version, i tried the Reset the Microsoft Store cache but it didn't work cause there is no Microsoft store in my apps and features. I tried the Check the Microsoft Store Install Service and changed it to automatic but i didn't know what to do after that so i tried clicking the Microsoft store icon but it didn't work it wont even show that its opening. I am currently trying the Reinstall the Microsoft Store app but when i have done all the steps and pressed and enter a green box indicating that its trying something appears but its stuck in the initialized stage and it wont proceed I've been waiting for 30 mins now. >. The script was run as a local admin on all machines after initially installing Windows 10.
All was fine and good since everything is done on a remote session anyway.
Fast forward a couple years...
I have one machine from this time which has user data on the local machine rather than on the remote desktop (c-level manager) but I noticed that all of the seemingly built-in apps (Windows Calculator) are missing and traced it back to running this script. The problem is, the powershell script also uninstalls the Microsoft Store App and the user wants to install an app from there.
Short of re-imaging the machine, is there a way to reinstall the Microsoft Store app? The troubleshooters from MS TechNet don't seem to work for this situation.
This is the PowerShell script that was used to remove it and all of the store apps:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | Remove-AppxPackage Get-AppXProvisionedPackage -online | Remove-AppxProvisionedPackage -online Get-AppXPackage | Remove-AppxPackage
Tl;dr: How does one install the Microsoft Store if it's been previously removed via PowerShell?
Hello Smokey Vanid,
You can use either command in the tutorial below to reinstall the Microsoft Store app in Windows 11.

I must have really done a number on the Microsoft Store App. Thank you for the prompt response. I thought I would go with Winget first but I got,
PS C:\Users\theye> winget install 9WZDNCRFJBMP
No package found matching input criteria.
So whe I used,
wsreset -i
It said I needed a new app
When I ran,
winget list
Microsoft Store package shows as installed.
So I tried,
winget install Microsoft Store
It found the package already installed, tried to upgrade, and shut down saying I did not accept the user agreement. But it didn't give me the option. It just ran through no-stop..
Still no Microsoft Store App.
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.
