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.

Open the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter by following these steps:

I have not seen any recent posts on this and I have the same problem. Totally reinstalling the OS is like having to put in new engine if you go back to the dealer with a broken windshield wiper. I don't know how, but the windows store went missing from my computer. There should be an easy install to add it back. I know you have some smart people at Microsoft. So are you going to do this or should we all trade in our Windows 10 PC's for Macs?
Totally agree with this remark. Just create an EXE file so we can download it again. I have been messing with this issue since November Windows 10 update and it screwed my computer and apps up like crazy. I just need the Windows app store and all will be good!!!!!!!!
