My microsoft store and xbox apps are riddled with problems for a long time, be it not launching minecraft / refusing to go further when logging in / apps themselves not loading properly or freezing after a while etc etc. The main point is i wish to uninstall and redownload these aspects entirely. This could be caused by some alteration i may have made years prior and forgot but i cannot reset my device nor my settings for private reasons. Any way to redownload these microsoft sourced apps entirely without having to do anything more like redownloading my games etc.?

    Open PowerShell as Admin and execute the following command:

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}
