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

    So I currently have the same issue. I am on a 1 year old Lenovo Laptop. 

    After a windows reset, I am missing the Microsoft store app. I am also missing other Microsoft apps like sticky notes and the calculator among others...

    I tried doing a second Windows Reset and it did not work. My windows is up to date. I tried using the PowerShell as admin with this command I copied from this very forum:

    I paste it, hit enter and nothing happens. I tried restarting the computer after entering this command and nothing... 

    Does someone have an idea of what to try next...

    4 years later and this thread is still active. I've never seen anything like it in all my years using Microsoft products.

    It does get a tad boring after some years have passed with no apparent fix.

    At least I didn't get here till late August of 2020. That's less than a year.
