Microsoft Store app missing.

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

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 last update brought the Microsoft store app back.

They finally heard us!!!

If nothing works, look here

Windows 10 Store not Installed [FIXED] - Appuals.com

If you have tried actually everything.

Many sites list only the first 8 options

For me it was Solution 10:

Use the Microsoft Store Appx Package Installer

And try your luck there.

It may happen that the store appxbundle has a weird name after downloading - but they still work via powershell, or you may try different bundles, depending on your version.

hint: Powershell as admin: Add-AppxPackage .\filename

dosent work for me????

This worked like a charm for me on my Windows 10 Pro (build: 19043.1052)

Thanks
