    No, the in-place upgrade didnot restore it.

    From admin PowerShell, run:

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore 

wsreset.exe

    Please post the output of the 2nd command.

    Let me know if you can launch Store.

    Hi Aditya,

    We reset the apps repository (which removed all Store apps). It's not possible to revive the corrupted apps repository database. All those apps need to be installed again.

    If you're referring to the Microsoft Store app, didn't the in-place upgrade restore it?

    I dont have windows store and photos dont launch

    Maybe you can start a fresh post for your latest issues because they're unrelated to the original post. Once done, post the link to the new thread here.

    Thanks Ramesh, for the help. Before closing this post, can you please confirm on one thing.

    During fixing this OS update issue, we had removed windows store. Can we add this back, which will help in raising new post.
