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 ?

    August 2019 or earlier Windows 10 version 1903 updates seem to have the same lack of Microsoft Store in Start menu as an app; not listed in apps and features in Settings; what path should be used for this request?

    Anything you do just west of time.

    You need new Windows that's the bottom line

    This just gives me an error

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF0, Package could not be opened.

    error 0x80070003: Opening file from location: AppxBundleManifest.xml failed with error: The system cannot find the

    path specified.

    .

    NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] f8880cfa-4fa0-0004-a21c-05f9a04fd501 in the Event Log or use

    the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID f8880cfa-4fa0-0004-a21c-05f9a04fd501

    At line:1 char:53

    • ...  | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.I ...

    +                 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

       eption

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.AddAppxPackageCommand

    Good error message so ran the command in bold:

    21/08/2019 11:22:19       404          AppX Deployment operation failed for package

                                           Microsoft.WindowsStore_11808.1001.913.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe with error

                                           0x80073CF0. The specific error text for this failure is: error 0x80070003:

                                           Opening file from location: AppxBundleManifest.xml failed with error: The

                                           system cannot find the path specified.

    But none the wiser :(

    I had to uninstall Norton Security, and it worked.  Any thoughts on why it disabled the Store?  I could not restore as long as Norton was on.
