Microsoft Store - PowerShell or CMD Manual Install???

Question

I'm runing Windows 11 Home Edition. I tweaked my system for better performance via Scripts, and I inadvertently unistalled the Microsoft Store App. I do not want to perform a system restore or reinstall Windows 11 to get the Microsoft Store App back as it will undo the changes I have made and I will have to go back through the whole process.

My question is:

"Is there a PowerShell or CMD Line Script that I can use to maually reinstall the Microsoft Store App?"

Thanks.

Answer 2

I must have really done a number on the Microsoft Store App. Thank you for the prompt response. I thought I would go with Winget first but I got,

PS C:\Users\theye> winget install 9WZDNCRFJBMP​
No package found matching input criteria.

So whe I used,

wsreset -i

It said I needed a new app

When I ran,

winget list

Microsoft Store package shows as installed.

So I tried,

winget install Microsoft Store

It found the package already installed, tried to upgrade, and shut down saying I did not accept the user agreement. But it didn't give me the option. It just ran through no-stop..

Still no Microsoft Store App.

In that case, you could try doing a repair install of Windows 11 below to hopefully restore the Microsoft Store app without losing anything.

Answer 4

I do not kow if it was "wsreset -i" (I tried runnig wsreset -i cmdlet several times) or what, because I never got an "install completed" or even "started" msg, but Microsoft Store is back.

Thank you.
