3D Builder has disappeared from my Windows 10 and the MS store doesn't have a download option to put it back

The title pretty much says it all.

For some reason 3D Builder is no longer listed on my PC. It does not exist in Add/Remove programs either. No idea why.

The point is that I can't get it back because when I go to the MS store there is no download button available.

How do I get 3D builder reinstalled on my PC?

Thanks

    Thank you. I did do those two, first, and even did them twice, and unfortunately that's the error I got each time. I'll try again tomorrow and will report back to see if there is another potential option. 🩷

    I just tried this and got this error:

    App installation failed with error message: Windows cannot install package Microsoft.3DBuilder_1.0.0.127_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because this package depends on a framework that could not be found. Provide the framework "Microsoft.WindowsPreview.Kinect.8.1" published by "any publisher", with neutral or x64 processor architecture and minimum version 2.0.1410.19000, along with this package to install.

    All three packages download fine here. Maybe you can regenerate the links and try again.

    Right-click each link and choose Save link as in your browser.
