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 ?

    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 have tried this as well as every method listed on all the microsoft pages concerning this issue- including a reset- and nothing brings the store back.

    Method 4 worked for me in the link & and Microsoft Store icon poped up on start screen,

    I was stuck using Windows 10 without Microsoft Store for almost two years, finally this method 4 (Method 4: Repair Windows Store) did the trick, follow the link:

    Yes, I just got this same problem. 

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\microsoft.windowsstore_11811.1001.18.0_x64__8wekyb3d8b

    bwe\AppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

    At line:1 char:53

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

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

        + CategoryInfo          : ObjectNotFound: (C:\Program File...ppXManifest.xml:String) [Add-AppxPackage], ItemNotFou

       ndException

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

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32>

    Any ideas how to get the store back? I just performed a complete windows restore and the store was gone after this...

    If I try to run the troubleshooter it just says I need Windows Store app for this....
