Please try a repair install to get Store after a Factory Reset:

Do a repair install of Windows 11 using an Installation Media that keeps everything and reinstalls Windows to fix issues on the computer.

  • First of all, download a windows 11 insider ISO file from the following link:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/Windows11
  • Under Download ISO file, select Windows 11.
  • Click Download and choose the Language in which Windows is installed.
  • Click 64-bit Download to start the download.
  • When the file has completed downloading, open it, which should mount the installation file to a separate drive in the File Explorer.

    I Have the same issue. Microsoft store is completely missing from my computer. I keep seeing this error: You’ll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store

    I tried these steps:

    • Update windows
    • **Reset the Microsoft Store cache
      Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.
      Note
    • 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"}

    • Reinstall windows AND formatted my harddrive. I still do not have the Microsoft Store on my computer...
