The Windows app isn't on my computer. Neither is the PowerShell (Admin). I have already tried opening the command prompt, but a notification pops up saying that a new link will be needed to access it. What do I do to put these apps back on my computer because I can't download anything without them?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Microsoft Store

    Hi, I’m Nicole, I’ll be happy to help you out today.

    If the Windows Store and PowerShell (Admin) are missing from your computer, you can try the following steps to reinstall them:

    Use the Settings app:

    1. Open the Settings app by pressing the Windows key + I.

    Click on "Apps."

    Scroll down to "Optional features" and click on it.

    Click on "Add a feature."

    Select the feature you want to install from the list (in this case, Windows Store or PowerShell) and click "Install."

    1. Use PowerShell to reinstall Windows Store:

    Open PowerShell (Admin) by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."

    Type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Wait for the command to finish running and then check if the Windows Store has been reinstalled.

    1. Use PowerShell to reinstall PowerShell (Admin):

    Open PowerShell (Admin) by pressing the Windows key + X and selecting "Windows PowerShell (Admin)."

    Type the following command and press Enter: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers Microsoft.PowerShell | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Wait for the command to finish running and then check if PowerShell (Admin) has been reinstalled.

    Report back the results here afterward.

    Regards.
