    Windows store is part of the Win 10 installation so cannot be downloaded separately. If you’re having problems with it you can reset the app:

    Or reregister all apps incl store:

    Please post back if neither of these work.

    Hi nilobautista, try unregistering and re-registering the Store app

    Right click your Start Button, choose Powershell (admin)

    Run these commands (copy and paste) and hit Enter after each one:

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* | Remove-AppxPackage

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsStore*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

    Close Powershell and see if the Store App runs . . .
