Microsoft Store app missing.

I tried everything and I don't even see the Microsoft store and I cant download anything.

I had this problem too and none of the store fixes worked
I did have boot time issue as well so I tried this and it fixed the store & boot time hangs

When I tried this the 1st time & it was a fail.. got a boot error message.

I did have to delete the Panther cache dat file. Then tried again.

And then it WORKED- MY MS store and windows apps are back.
Photoshop & Bridge, Office Outlook, other programs I installed still work.

I keep all my photos/docs/files on another drive.

Boot time was almost 4 minutes before.

Now 26 seconds

THANK YOU

Very Grateful
