WIndows 10 Store Not Installed

Hello,

Whenever I try to open Windows Store, it gives me the error message, "This app can't open. There's a problem with Store. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it."

When I go to C:\Windows, there's no Winstore folder. Therefore, there is no AppxManifest.xml to guide Powershell in reinstalling everything.

The SFC and DISM are in progress, and I am just about to close Edge to try the "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" command. I don't think I'll have much luck, though, because it calls for the C:\Windows\Winstore\AppXManifest.xml file as well.

EDIT:

Alrighty then, the aforementioned command worked but not to fix Store. It apparently just reinstalled some of the apps, or updated their AppXManifests or something.

So, as I said, nothing. Yay. A little help here?

EDIT:

Neither SFC nor DISM found anything wrong.

    Hello,

    I did as you said. The CMD windows popped up, and then a second later, a 'default program' window popped up to tell me that I'd need a new program to open ms-windows-store.

    I cannot register SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML

    ****SystemRoot\WinStore\AppxManifest.XML does not exist

    As I said in my first post

    Remember that?

    Right there

    So really, getting this message isn't all that surprising:

    I am having exactly the same problem. Same popup saying need a new app to open this ms-windows-store. I search for Store on my SP3 and nothing. Please help, very frustrating.
