Windows 10: Adding Microsoft Store to the Taskbar

- Windows 10 Pro
- 10.0.17134 Build 17134

I tried Option One from this following page:
Enable or Disable Pinning Store app to Taskbar in Windows 8 and 10 | Tutorials

After restarting my computer, there was still no Microsoft Store on my taskbar.

Background Info

I noticed that my Microsoft Store icon on my taskbar was "blank." So I removed it from the taskbar, and then attempted to reinstall it using Option 1 above. It did not work.

What do I need to do? Should I delete the registry entry that the file inserted?

Unable to download app from Microsoft Store

It seems that this is a Chrome issue. Have you tried resetting Chrome?



On the other hand, we suggest that you open Microsoft Store app instead of opening Store through Chrome. The following are steps on how to open Microsoft Store on Windows 10:

• To open Microsoft Store on Windows 10, select the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar.
• If you don't see the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar, it might have been unpinned. To pin it, select the Start button, type
  Microsoft Store, press and hold (or right-click) Microsoft Store, then choose More > Pin
  to taskbar.
• If Microsoft Store won't launch, get more info at Microsoft Store does
  not launch.

Regards.
