Uninstall or disable the Microsoft Store in Windows 10 Home *21H2

Question

The ability to do so has been circumvented by Microsoft. I have tried removing the MS Store app using all instructions here:
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/Lync/en-US/a8405957-5025-427e-9405-331b1a8dde21/uninstall-or-disable-the-microsoft-store?forum=win10itprogeneral
but none of these work anymore, on Windows 10, 21H2, 19044.2130.

The ONLY thing I have found to work is using AskAdmin (current version 1.9), found here:

(thanks wtarkan)

ANY other ideas?

Answer 1

You could block access to Microsoft Store using AppLocker or Group Policy, have a look at:

Answer 2

Uninstalling the Microsoft Store app is not supported and uninstalling it may cause unintended consequences. There is no official supported workaround to uninstall or reinstall Microsoft Store.

Answer 3

You would be able to disable Microsoft Store using registry.
Try backup your registry and then open the Windows Registry and then try navigate to the following location:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE->SOFTWARE->Policies->Microsoft->WindowsStore

Try right click and create a new DWORD and name it RemoveWindowsStore and set value 1.
It should do what you are looking for.
You may remove this value to enable it.
