Hello!

I would like to ask, if someone had similar problem like mine with Microsoft Store on Windows 11?

The problems is only few apps are visible like "installed" in apps library section. However, it seems that updates are still working.

For example, I use Lenovo Vantage - if I search it in Store, the app page opens up, and I see button on the left "Open". If I come back to apps library, Lenovo Vantage is on the list.

I tried:

  1. Resetting Store via Settings app.
  2. Resetting Store via wsreset.exe
  3. Delete cache files manually.
None of above works - the problem is still there.

However, when I create new local account, and log into it, then Store works properly and I can see all the installed apps in Library.

My Win 11 installation is up-to-date (with drivers). Also checked system files integrity via SFC /scannow and DISM - no problems there.

What could be the issue?

Thanks in advance for every suggestion.

Type the following PowerShell command to re-register Microsoft Store app and press Enter:

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

Restart the computer to apply.

That's a good indication that either your user account has some sort of corruption or if you are running PRO there is some restriction in group policy which is managed by administrator.

Thank you for replies. Unfortunately, re-registering app via PowerShell did not solve the issue. Should I try to complete reinstall Store?

That's a good indication that either your user account has some sort of corruption or if you are running PRO there is some restriction in group policy which is managed by administrator.

I'm using Home version.

EDIT: Tried to reinstall via "wsreset -i" command - did not help.

Ok guys, so the problem is not solved BUT:

I turned off auto-update and if the update for an app is avalible, then this app shows up in MS Store (I was worried about update ability - I thought that if not all apps are visible, then maybe updates for these apps will not work).

So for now I'll leave it like this, because it seems this is just a "visual" bug.

Thank you for all replies and helping me :)

Greetings.
