First get the ProductId. Here is the link for Jetpack Joy:
https://microsoft.com/p/jetpack-joy/9pmw2dsr94ch
so the ProductId is 9pmw2dsr94ch. Then go here:
https://store.rg-adguard.net
change the first option to ProductId, then enter the ProductId. You can leave
the last option as the default. Then click the checkmark to search. From here you
can download file like this:
15609SniperStrikeFPSShoot.JetpackJoy_10.5.0.70_x64__9cjb9ckgksp78.eappx
However in this case, since the file type is eappx, that is an encrypted file,
so I am not sure what to do with it. Sorry I know that is not too helpful, but I
wanted to post this because in my case, the app I was looking for resulted in an
appxbundle file instead, which those can be extracted to give you the exe
file. For anyone dealing with eappx files, this thread might be helpful:

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.
I'm curious to know if it's possible to install apps from the Microsoft Store using command line instructions, similar to what can be done on Linux with Flathub. Is there a way to achieve this on Windows, or are there alternative methods available?
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.
Hi,
you should be able to use:
winget install --source msstore
example:
winget install "firefox" --source msstore
Winget is a fairly new feature, make sure you have installed any updates to Windows and the windows package installer.

Over the weekend I uninstalled MSFT Store. Ran the command to have it reinstalled but always got "Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.". After different search results. I found the one that helped me.

Now I didn't have to download NET Framework, .NET Runtime, and VC Libs. Just downloaded the windows store appxbundle. I had to right click and save link as since it believes it's a harmful file. Have to select Keep. Using google chrome. The version I selected was Microsoft.WindowsStore_11811.1001.2713.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle
Double click the download file selected install for the MSFT Store. Store installed came up with no issues. Selected download and updates and the store updated to the newest version.
Hope this helps.
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...
Hello Madofficer392,
Thank you for updating me that information. Can you take a screenshot after you paste the command in Powershell? Please post it on your next reply. For the meantime, kindly create a new administrator account then check if everything is working there.
I hope this helps! Please let me know if you have any further concerns.
Sincerely

You can now use winget to install msstore apps on windows 10 and 11.
Use winget search <app_name> --source=msstore to make a search, and use the id of the app to install and upgrade the app.
For example, to install Netflix:
- First I made a search with
winget search Netflix --source=msstore, I see that the app id is9WZDNCRFJ3TJ. - I install app with
winget install -e -i --id=9WZDNCRFJ3TJ --source=msstore. - I upgrade app with
winget upgrade -e -i --id=9WZDNCRFJ3TJ.
store.rg-adguard.net is a GUI for generating direct download links to store apps. Peeking at the source of that page, we can piggyback off them to download the content directly, but using PackageFamilyName, rather than Name (in your example it would be Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension_8wekyb3d8bbwe).
function Download-AppxPackage {
[CmdletBinding()]
param (
[string]$PackageFamilyName,
[string]$Path
)
process {
$WebResponse = Invoke-WebRequest -Method 'POST' -Uri 'https://store.rg-adguard.net/api/GetFiles' -Body "type=PackageFamilyName&url=$($PackageFamilyName)&ring=Retail&lang=en-US" -ContentType 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' -UseBasicParsing
$LinksMatch = $WebResponse.Links | where {$_ -like '*_x64*.appx*'} | Select-String -Pattern '(?<=a href=").+(?=" r)'
$DownloadLinks = @($LinksMatch.matches.Value)
for ($i = 1; $i -le $DownloadLinks.Count; $i++) {
Invoke-WebRequest -Uri $DownloadLinks[$i-1] -OutFile "$Path\$PackageFamilyName($i).appx"
}
}
}
This is limited to the x64 version, and the path must point to a folder. It will download the package and its dependencies and save them all as PackagefamilyName(n).appx
