You could try the following in Settings, System, All Apps.

 

Hello Pathfinder, *Smile

You might see if resetting the Store app using the method in the tutorial below may help.

Reset App in Windows 10

 

i did that and still it doesnt showup in start menu, even though its on default list. i even ran Re-register_Store.bat file.. as well as reset store

ok, ive got it back...but i cant sign in lmao*cry

 

What's it doing when you try to sign in with your Microsoft account?

Sign in Store with Different Account in Windows 10

Use Local account with Windows Store

 

see heres the store. i click sign in and nothing happens

 

Yep, that sure would make it hard to sign in.

You might see if resetting the Store app one more time may toggle it to work properly afterwards.

If all else fails, you could do a repair install that should fix it without losing anything.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

eww reset..refresh? i have already reset pc and refreshed in previous timelines and re edited all the settings ..i dont think it is applicable right now. although i will bookmark that link. thx for help i appreciate it.

 

Not to refresh or reset, but to repair install instead.

 

You know bro, i wish i could create restore points...but they takeup a lot of space. The last point i had to delete was before last reset after pc crashed..i had to do aclean uninstall/reinstall and start from scratch. In a fantasy scenario, i would rather create restore points on an external hdd

 

That would be nice to be able to select where to save restore points for all drives instead of just on the drive it's for.

 

Something you could try?.....click on set default by app (bottom attachment)...under Reset....see post #2
Scroll down to Store....click on it for more information before clicking ok.

 

Another alternative backup plan would be:
Type shell:appsfolder into a Run box, press Enter, create shortcuts, (right click, create shortcut, send to desktop instead), of all the UWP Apps you'd like to backup, gather up all those shortcuts from the desktop, put them in a specific folder somewhere on C:
If you loose an app, many of the default ones can be re-instated simply by going to that folder and clicking on the appropriate shortcut, Store being one of them.
