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

    Thanks for the attempt but I am looking for a way to INSTALL it on my computer. I use that LINK to open it whenever I use it which is a pain in the **** and slooow! I've got very fast ethernet (100 mbs) and I have to click on that link, then it takes you to the Microsoft store where I click on it again then in a few minutes I get to 3D Builder. It works but I can not use it without internet when I am in a motel or in a different state etc. I just hit the link you posted and it was the same thing. I'd be happy to pay a reasonable fee to be able to have it on my computer because its easier and cheaper than any cad program, I'd need to take a loan out for the prices they ask for any commercial cad software and its not like I make money from my use of cad. I've used Shaper and Freecad and OpenSCAD but they are limited and hard to navigate The gem of 3D Builder is the ability to use negative objects then delete them when creating a 3d model. Now I am stuck using Blender which is as hard as any real cad program to navigate then I save the file in stl and import it into 3D Builder.

    Yes, the pinned comment you're referencing is the old version. You should be using VCLibs.140.00_14.0 and 3dBuilder_20.0.4.0 if you've been using it for the last ~3 years like I have. Still needs the Kinect_2.0.1410 package.
