How to reinstall Microsoft Store

Question

How to reinstall Microsoft Store

ryosk25 456

Since I manage Windows 10 and do not use Microsoft Store applications in my business, I deleted them all with the following command.

Get-AppxPackage | findstr PackageFullName
Remove-AppxPackage -Package "XXXXXXX"
Get-ProvisionedAppPackage -Online | findstr PackageName
Remove-ProvisionedAppxPackage -Online -PackageName "XXXXXXXX"

However, since the end user requested to use the store application, I would like to reinstall it.
Could you please tell me how to reinstall the applications available from the Microsoft Store or Microsoft Store?

Thank you.

Hi everyone. I FOUND A SOLUTION THAT ACTUALLY WORKS:

Even though my windows microsoft store app was completely missing, my "Xbox" app was still available. Simply launch the xbox app and follow the steps until you get to the dashboard. Once in the dashboard, you'll see any number of yellow notices stating that you're system is missing the following applications in order to run/function properly. And right next to each item, it has an install button. YES THIS INCLUDES THE WINDOWS STORE! Worked perfectly for me.

YOU'RE WELCOME!

Here is what helped me, where nothing else worked: (Basically Close Minecraft launcher > open Xbox Game Bar (press Windows and type that app name, then open it), in Settings > Accounts I have signed out, then reopened Minecraft):

Hey I got this code and how I fixed it was by : 1-removing the account from my login.
2-going to xbox log in and logging in there.
3-making sure every thing was up to date there.
4- closing and Re opening minecraft.
5- logging in.

This worked for me I hope it works for you.

I reinstalled Windows 10 and when I started with the device Microsoft Store was missing. Trying to find and reinstall Microsoft Store was a mission. The Xbox method worked like a charm after numerous trial and errors

If you've tried the above fixes and it doesn't work, you might not have the proper Windows Store (aka Microsoft Store) re-installation components on your local computer. This will re-download the Windows Store components and install them. Run this in an administrator PowerShell session:

winget install 9WZDNCRFJBMP

I hope this helps.

This works. Download the Xbox app here in case you uninstalled both the store and the Xbox app like I did. Then once the Xbox app is launched, at the bottom, it prompts you to reinstall features. From there you can select the Microsoft Store and other items to reinstall.

For those who posted the Xbox idea … THANK YOU! THANK YOU!! I have never posted anything in a forum but I had to thank someone. Powershell did nothing except create more frustration. The Xbox idea worked in minutes!

Answer 2

Hi Rkppt-4902,

You should be able to reinstall the store by following these steps:

Go to settings> Update and Security> troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooter> Then click Windows Store apps
Temporarily Disable the Anti-virus (If you have third party anti viru)
Run Powershell
On Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below:

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Method 2. repair Windows Store and update components

Open Powershell with Admin or CMD with Admin (Press Windows key + X then click Windows Powershell(Admin))
Copy each line of command to Powershell then press enter (one line at a time)
net stop bits
net stop wuauserv
net stop appidsvc
net stop cryptsvc
Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader*.*"
rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
netsh winsock reset
netsh winsock reset proxy
net start bits
net start wuauserv
net start appidsvc
net start cryptsvc

-Once done restart the device and check

If none will work from the above solution I suggest to do an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

Note: before doing this make sure to create a restore point: https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/402753...

go to this link: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...
Select Download tool, and select Run. You need to be an administrator to run this tool.
On the License terms page, if you accept the license terms, select Accept.
On the What do you want to do? page, select Upgrade this PC now, and then select Next.
After downloading and installing, it should fix the issue.

Reference: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-downlo...
Note: if you receive error: “This Pc can’t be upgrade, follow the steps below”
Method 1. Go to C:\$WINDOWS.~BT\Sources\Panther then delete the file name compatscancache.dat
Then try again or reboot the PC first then try again.
You might not see the folder as it is hidden, make sure to show hidden files first.

@Limitless Technology

thank you for your answer.
The store was not available in either step.

I don't want to upgrade, so I haven't done it yet.
Is there any other way?

Try run the following command:

    Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Try run the following in the Command prompt:
wsreset.exe

I ran the command, but it's as shown on the screen.
The store has not been reinstalled yet.

Is there anything else you can do?

Hello,

I believe once you completely uninstall Store app, then you can't reinstall it via PowerShell.

You need to perform repair upgrade to get Store app back:

@Kapil Arya

thank you for your answer.
I also tried a repair upgrade,
It cannot be processed due to an error.

Do you know the solution to this error?
I would be grateful if you could help me.
