Windows 10: Help with reinstalling Microsoft Store

My problem started a few months ago after a game called Phantasy Star Online 2 (PSO2 for short) launched for the west and it was only available through the Microsoft Store. Some of you may be aware of how much of a shitstorm it was for a lot of people trying to get the game up and running. The root of the problem mostly comes from the WindowsApp folder which to my knowledge you dont have permissions to it by default. A lot of people including me were denied access when trying to launch game. Long story short, I had a lot of tweaking with the folder permissions, which unfortunately only allowed me to play the game for a week. It denied me permission again after that, and I gave up.

Following from that, it seems like I had permanently broke the Microsoft Store. When I tried to launch a game for the Xbox Game Pass for PC, I would get the "parameter is incorrect" error. I have tried to reinstall Microsoft Store using Powershell, which returned a lot of errors for me. I have also tried to manually download the Microsoft Store app and its dependencies, according to this website https://www.winhelponline.com/blog/restore-windows-store-windows-10-uninstall-with-powershell/ .

The second method ends with me unable to launch the store at all. Lastly, I have tried to perform an in-place upgrade for Windows 10, but the store is still broken to me. At this point, I have ran out of ideas of what else to do to fix this. Does anyone here know any other ways?
