    Hi,

    you should be able to use:

    winget install <identifier or search query> --source msstore

    example:

    winget install "firefox" --source msstore

    Winget is a fairly new feature, make sure you have installed any updates to Windows and the windows package installer.

    Regards,

    LightJack

    Hi!

    I can't find and launch my Microsoft Store. I tried the PowerShell solution but it didn't work. 

    It says, "You'll need a new app to open this ms-window store link" What does it mean? What should I do?

    Thanks in advance!

    It doesn't work on all versions of the App Store:

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D06, The package could not be installed because a higher       version of this package is already installed.                                                                           Windows cannot install package Microsoft.WindowsStore_12006.1001.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because it has version          12006.1001.1.0. A higher version 12007.1001.2.0 of this package is already installed.                                   NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] fad44870-7035-0006-c164-d4fa3570d601 in the Event Log or use    the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID fad44870-7035-0006-c164-d4fa3570d601
