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

    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.

    Update:

    My issue  with the Store App not

    fully launching has finally been  resolved. 

    Someone stole it out of my car!

    it’s their problem now!

    (karma in its purest form)

    My Lessons learned

    1: Only Windows 10 Pro as OS

    2: read the fine print on sale listings!

    1. watch return window, test out all tech asap before it shuts
    2. No more Lenovo!

     Why?  Laptop was Just  outside of return window by a few days. 

    Lenovo “customer service stated they wouldn’t take it back and wouldn’t repair it

    (I was instructed to take up to contact MSFT bc it was a software issue,

    not a hardware issue.

    not taking into consideration that they sent it to me as basically unusable(couldn’t download apps/reset/install security updates,

    anti-virus, ect)

    Hope this helps someone..

    Thanks all!

    PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Reg

    ister "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF9, Install failed. Please contact your software vendor.

    (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF9)

    NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] dc4f57ea-5b39-0000-db8d-4fdc395bd401 in the Event Log or use

    the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID dc4f57ea-5b39-0000-db8d-4fdc395bd401

    What to do if AppLocker is blocking everything store-related I try to install?
