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 ?

    Unsure on what to do from here. 

    Get-AppXPackage : The database disk image is malformed

    The database disk image is malformed

    At line:1 char:1

    • Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage - ...
    •

        + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (:) [Get-AppxPackage], Exception

        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : System.Exception,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.GetAppxPackageCommand

    This is what comes up after entering the command you mentioned.

    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.

    I had been trying all day, this was the perfect solution and easy and straight forward. Thanks a lot

    Kind regards

    Harry

    I was facing the same problem (Microsoft Store and several other apps missing) and none of the methods described on various websites worked for me. Finally, I downloaded the media creation tool from https://www.microsoft.com/en-in/software-download/windows10 and reinstalled Windows 10.

    That solved my problem.
