Microsoft Store Download

For some reason, Microsoft Store didn't download when I installed Windows 10. I can't find a direct download anywhere and I've tried to open Powershell as an admin and use the following command: 

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

I get the following error:

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed. Please contact your software vendor.

Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsStore_12009.1001.113.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe because the package is

currently paused. The package must be Staged in order to proceed.

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 6d041903-9075-0010-f941-046d7590d601 in the Event Log or use the

command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 6d041903-9075-0010-f941-046d7590d601

At line:1 char:53

  • ...  | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.I ...

+                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    + CategoryInfo          : WriteError: (C:\Program File...ppXManifest.xml:String) [Add-AppxPackage], IOException

    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand

If my understanding is correct and my MS Store is in a "Paused" state, how do I restart it? How can I resolve this issue?

    Hi Virginia, I'm having the exact same problem as jhostindelahoz and I've tried all of the steps they have. My pc's date and time are correct. Everytime I try to reinstall the windows store app with the AppXManifest command I get an error like: 

    Add-AppXPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\Program

    Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11910.1002.5.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

    Hello Kevin,

    Thank you for the advice but once I finished step 2 of this process, I get the following error: 

    You'll need a new app to pen this ms-windows-store link

    I tried to proceed with step 3 of this process, but I received the following error message in PowerShell:

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\Program

    Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowsstore_12009.1001.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbweAppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

    At line:1 char:61

    Hi eguado-

    Perform online repair on your Windows is the best solution on this.

    On this process we will re install your Windows without touching your files and programs that is installed on your computer.

    Kindly access this link to get the ISO file of Windows:

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...

    Click download tool now.

    Once the media creation tool is downloaded kindly click on Run or double click the icon.

    Click Yes or Okay if it will prompt your a UAC box.

    It will automatically run the process.

    Accept License term agreement

    Choose Create Installation media (USB flash drive, DVD or ISO) for another PC.

    Click on Next.

    On the language screen check if it is correct, if not kindly uncheck the box to edit.

    Click on Next

    On the next window it will ask you " choose which media to use"

    Instead on creating a bootable media choose or click "ISO file".

    Click on Next.

    Choose where to save the ISO file.

    Once the file is saved kindly double click on it and run the ISO file and follow the on screen instruction.

    Kindly look on this link as well for the process of online repair or inplace upgrade on your Windows:

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

    Note: it will take some time to download and install. Kindly not interrupt the process to make it work.

    Regards.

    Kevin B.

    Click on the ”Run this troubleshooter” button.

    2. Reset Store cache

    Press Windows key + R to open the run box.

    Type wsreset.exe and press Enter.

    3. Open Powershell (admin)

    Copy the following command:

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}

    Once the process finish, restart your PC.

    However, I still received an error stating: 

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.
