**I have changed version of Windows successfully, but the Microsoft Store does not work at all and needs to be updated and does not update itself. I even downloaded it, but it was in the newer add-ons format (.msixbundle) and I do not have the App Installer (I want to update the Microsoft Store for it), and I don't know what to do now. My situation now is like a locked cabinet with the key inside it 😂. I need a solution and your advice..**

    Hello Abd Al-Rahman Hamwe,

    The best way forward is to first install App Installer from Microsoft’s official link, because it’s required for .msixbundle packages. Once that’s in place, you can use WinGet (Windows Package Manager) to download and install Microsoft Store without opening the Store itself.

    If the Store app is present but not working, try running wsreset.exe or use the repair/reset options in Settings.

    This might elp
