Windows 10 Home build 2004
I ran window troubleshooter for the store and got "Hanging or crashing Apps" not fixed. There is no store icon. In the "Windows option" button, I see some apps but they do not execute and are listed as "ms-resource:..." and do not execute.

I run wsreset in elevated command prompt and I error window "You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link"

How do I regain the store app?

    Welcome to Microsoft Q&A Platform.
    Try to re-register Windows Store
    Open PowerShell as administartor
    Copy and paste the command below into PowerShell, and press Enter.
    Get-AppXPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
    When finished, you can close PowerShell, and try opening the Microsoft Store app again.
    If still no use, create a new admin account to check Store, because Store is based on account, current user profile issue may corrupt store, but other account’s store app will not be influenced.
