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 ?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Microsoft Store

    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.

    This is result of your instructions (I triple checked this):

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

     I tried this hoping it would work.... but this is the response received...

    What should I do next? Reset the PC as is says? or Take it to a repair center (not my fav choice)?
