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

    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

    Jolie Princess Katana

    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

    The solution that you find online don't work always. What does seem to work is to open the Xbox app on your pc. There you will find a prompt that a required program is missing and give the option to install the Store.
