Answer 1

Hi,

you should be able to use:

winget install <identifier or search query> --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.

I'm John an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you. I want to apologize if you encountered this issue. I understand you want to install Microsoft Store through powershell

Reinstall the Store:

Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator

At the command prompt, copy-paste the following then hit Enter:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Launch again your MS Store

Answer 5

Hi nileshpawar4, My name is Jeremy, a Windows Independent Adviser. I'll be happy to help you out today. Let’s see what I can do.

I regret to inform you but, unfortunately, it is not possible to use PowerShell to install apps from Microsoft store as of this moment,

The Add-AppxPackage cmdlet adds a signed app package to a user account. An app package has an .msix or .appx file name extension. Use the DependencyPath parameter to add all other packages that are required for the installation of the app package. You can use the Register parameter to install from a folder of unpackaged files during the development of Windows:registered: Store apps.

In the meantime, please use the Feedback hub under your start menu and drop some comments and suggestions. Microsoft has always a room for improvement for the best experience of its user.

I hope this information helps

Kind regards,

Jeremy
