I cannot find Microsoft Store in Apps & Features nor the xbox app and the calculator app, calendar app, mail app and others will not open.
I tried to reinstall Microsoft Store using powershell but I got this error :
Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed. Please contact your software vendor. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF9)

I also tried resetting my PC but when I try it says "There was a problem resetting your PC No changes were made.

Hi, thank you for that information. In this case, kindly follow the steps below:

Method 1. Repair Windows Store and app:

Press the Windows key + X, then select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin)

Copy, paste, and enter the command below:

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

Then hit Enter, once the process is done, restart the PC, and check.

If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

Kindly follow the steps from this link:

My timezone is UTC -4.

Everying was working before a few months ago I remember updating my pc and everything being gone or not opening. I didnt think about rolling back the update or recovering from a backup because I didnt realize how much I wouldnt be able to do. I have Windows 11 Home Version 24H2

Hi Tyler, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard, a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, my timezone is UTC +8.

Just to confirm, was it working fine before? Is the device connected to work, school, or an organization? While waiting, can you also check the Windows version and edition you have?

To check:

Go to Settings > System > About

Under Windows specifications, please let me know the Windows version and edition you have.

Bernard
