Apps Reinstall Microsoft Store app in Windows 10 and Windows 11

ExBrit · Aug 9, 2023

@Brink The last last update got rid of MS Store and 3 apps therein. It really is becoming a pain in ther you know what to update these days.

winget is no longer an accepted input or words to that effect so option two is moot.
I tried option one yet again and all I get is Microsoft Store downloading and the same for Microsoft Store Host but they never seem to actually do that.

Hopefully, the next update will fix it.

Don't forget to send feedback.

I sent feedback. Just wish the darn thing worked as my system is slow to start as a result. No malware present thankfully.

@Brink I forgot to mention that this was in my W10 main OS, the W11 was OK thankfully. Today for some unknown reason the

Code:

wsreset -i

worked. That server must have been overloaded or broken yesterday.

Neither methods are working for me:

Windows 11 22H2 (22621.2715) running on an Intel NUC9i9QNX.

To get Winget you need the 'App Installer' installed.
If you're having issues with the Store app then try this,
In PowerShell (admin) copy and paste:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* | Remove-AppxPackage

Then reboot the PC

Back on PowerShell (admin) copy and paste:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

This did not work, either.

See if you can get App Installer installed here to get Winget to work.

Nothing happens, when I click on the Install button.

Fabler2 · Nov 22, 2023

If it's still listed in the All Apps list then try right click, more and App settings. Try Repair followed by Reset.

Nothing there.

I have a Bat File to maybe fix but haven't tried LINK

I use to install store on LTSC

Success!

I went to the Media Creation Tool page and selected the “Download Windows 11 Disk Image (ISO) for x64 devices” option.
With the ISO downloaded, I right-clicked on the file and selected Mount from the contextual menu.
I then launched the setup app on the virtual DVD now mounted.
After a few clicks on Next buttons and an acceptance of Microsoft’s software license I was almost ready to install Windows 11 over top of the existing installation (see screenshot below).
I clicked Install, and the install was underway.
When that was completed I had updated from 22H2 (22621.2715) to 23H2 (22631.2715), and the Microsoft Store was back.
I still had an “Invalid Value for Registry” error, when opening JPEG files. Updating the Microsoft Photos app in the Microsoft Store fixed that.
