Microsoft Store app missing.

Hi 

Thank you for the response. 

i am sorry i was not clear in my post

The MIcrosoft Store App splash screen launches for a sec and then 

closes, both when launched from the 

icon on task bar and from the apps

start menu. 

This is a brand new Lenovo (purchases from Lenovo’s US web store. 

It was installed with Window 10 S

which forces you to install all new apps from the Microsoft Store

i tried doing a clean install

but it would not let me b/c it was not software obtained from the Store. 

I can’t even update to a full version

b/c you have to do that via the store

I called Lenovo and was told that since it was a MSFT software issue 

that i had to  bring it to them. 

I will wait for an update or try to replace the M2 SSD (if it is is removable) and install Windows 10 Pro

Thx again for your thoughts . Hopefully it will help others forum members as well.

this is only true if the Windows store has been unregistered.  What if it is completely gone, meaning all the associated files have been removed?  Is there just a Windows store installer somewhere, perhaps a script that has all the required files and copies them to where they need to be, then re-registers the store?

No matter how much I change my search "Windows store completely missing," Windows Store uninstalled," et cetera, all I get are these same couple of steps to re-register it if it's already installed.

What if you fully uninstalled the store Via powershell?  Isn't there an installer available to reinstall?

What i did was the app reset. Now its nowhere . Not in Cortana, Apps and Features, etc. I ran the troubleshooter from Microsoft. both inbuilt and the one downloaded from MS. And I can get this message " you need a new app to open this ms-windows-store. "

 Is it completely gone? or can I reregister it ?

Press Windows key + X

Click Windows PowerShell (Admin)

At the command prompt, type the following then hit Enter:

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

Restart, then try launching the Store again.

you **** don't give people foals hope,you stupid arsohole
