How to reinstall Microsoft Store

Question

Hi to the whole community,

I recently configured and installed 150 Windows 10 PCs for a customer.

They are all PCs supplied by Lenovo with a regular Windows 10 key. To speed up the installation, I prepared a disk image with 1 PC of the 150.

I used Sysprep and generalized the image.

I then installed the image on the 150 PCs, all the same model.

Everything is fine, the group policies are activated, the PC works, the updates are downloaded from the WSUS.

The only problem is that the Microsoft Store has disappeared.

I tried all the guides:

-The troubleshooter doesn't find any problems for me

-wsreset.exe does not work

-The Windows Store does not appear in System Apps (Settings>Apps)

-Powershell with Get-AppxPackage command and all possible commands found on the internet to restore it

-Used SFC and DISM tool

-Created new account on PC

-Reset the PC from Settings>Recovery>Download files from the cloud

On program files in the hidden windowsApps folder there is no WindowsStore folder.

Is there anyway to reinstall Microsoft store manually? Like with an Installer?

I hope you can help me

Thank you

Henry

Hello,

Unfortunately there isn't any supported way to reinstall the Windows Store if it doesn't exist.

Reinstall is the best option,

Sorry,
