How do I reinstall Microsoft Store for Windows 11?

Hi, I'm Elise, a fellow user like yourself and I'd be happy to help with your issue.

Other users have had a similar issue to this, could you please try follow these steps to re-register the store app.

Could you open the powershell app as an administrator and copy in the following command and press enter

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

Now reboot your PC and this should allow you to use the store app again.

If this doesn’t work the next stage I would suggest is a repair upgrade, you can find steps on how to do this here:

When I execute the command I get this error:

Add-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed. Please contact your software vendor.
Deployment Register operation with target volume C: on Package Microsoft.WindowsStore_22304.1401.3.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe from:  (AppxBundleManifest.xml)  failed with error 0x80070490. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues.
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 6fa8ee5b-8728-0005-5dc2-ad6f2887da01 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 6fa8ee5b-8728-0005-5dc2-ad6f2887da01

I can't figure out what is causing this and I think I will do a full system reset next.

Before I finally do this and kill all my personal setup and tools and start to setup it again over a few days until everything works again....
has anyone a clue how to fix this error?

Situation:

• Upgrade from Win10 to Win11
• Store was bromen afterwards
• Uninstalled the store
• Can't reinstall the store
• more and more system apps get broken, e.g. Snipping Tool, Calculator, etc... seems to get broken if any update is triggered for those apps

Thx, Elmar

I had this problem as well for 6 months+ and it drove me nuts!

I ended up terminating my Xbox gold subscription as I couldn't install any Xbox games from the Microsoft store, but my kid forced me to get it fixed to play Minecraft, so 12 hours later ;-)

my solution was:

-Click start, type Powershell and run it as administrator
-Copy and paste each of the commands below and hit Enter

get-appxpackage Microsoft.GamingServices | remove-AppxPackage –allusers
start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN

Reinstalling the store might also do the trick (that you can bing or google that separate).

Please MS, get this freaking thing FIXED so the store knows what wrong instead of just going into stupide mode and doing nothing!..

Hope it helps!

Does not work for me. What does this mean?

Hi, Elise, I apologize for replying so late. I saw what you wrote about running the command and tried it, but it didn't do anything. I got busy with work and other priorities, so I'm just now coming back to it. Does the repair upgrade reset my computer to factory, deleting everything?
