    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.

    Regards,

    LightJack

    Hello nileshpawar4,

    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:

    Press Windows key + X

    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

    I hope this helps! Kindly inform me if my suggestions does not solve the problem. I can provide another solution for you to try.

    Sincerely

    John DeV

    Hi!

    I can't find and launch my Microsoft Store. I tried the PowerShell solution but it didn't work. 

    It says, "You'll need a new app to open this ms-window store link" What does it mean? What should I do?

    Thanks in advance!
