Press Windows key + X

Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator. Copy and paste the command below then press Enter.

get-appxpackage *WindowsStore* | remove-appxpackage

**Uninstall the Xbox app

Open Settings then select Apps

Under Apps and Features, find Xbox app

Click it then Uninstall

Once the two apps are uninstalled, install the Xbox app from the link below

Just wanted to say thanks for this post and for the link to the Xbox installer. I don't remember uninstalling the Xbox or Windows Store apps so I have no idea how that happened.
