WIndows 10 Store Not Installed

Hello,

Whenever I try to open Windows Store, it gives me the error message, "This app can't open. There's a problem with Store. Contact your system administrator about repairing or reinstalling it."

When I go to C:\Windows, there's no Winstore folder. Therefore, there is no AppxManifest.xml to guide Powershell in reinstalling everything.

The SFC and DISM are in progress, and I am just about to close Edge to try the "Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers |Where-Object {$_.InstallLocation -like "*SystemApps*"} | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}" command. I don't think I'll have much luck, though, because it calls for the C:\Windows\Winstore\AppXManifest.xml file as well.

EDIT:

Alrighty then, the aforementioned command worked but not to fix Store. It apparently just reinstalled some of the apps, or updated their AppXManifests or something.

So, as I said, nothing. Yay. A little help here?

EDIT:

Neither SFC nor DISM found anything wrong.

    There is an online store to download the APP package

    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/microsoft-store/9wzdncrfjbmp

    Just sign into using your microsoft account

    Thank you for your assistance, but the only option I have is to open it with Microsoft store and mine does not work.

    THIS WORKS!!!

    Honestly, thank you so much!! I was so close to doing a full reinstall.

    HOW is this workaround not known and recommended? Or to be honest WHY can‘t MS just offer a user friendly solution?? This xBox workaround was so easy...

    In reply to all the recommendations that suggest installing the xBox App via the Online MS-Store: that unfortunately won‘t work if MS Store isn‘t installed, which is probably the reason you came here in the first place. That page just redirects you to the MS Store - which, again, is probably missing.

    However, installing it directly via xBox (just search xBox Windows Install) works so nice and easily that I was honestly baffled after all the unsuccesful and time consuming options I‘ve tried.

    Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH for suggesting this, you saved me HOOOUURS!! Thank you!
