Windows 10: I need a way to reinstall the Microsoft Store application.

I once used a certain application to clean useless apps off my computer. One of the apps I decided to clean, stupidly, was the Microsoft Store. I cannot find a way to reinstall it since then, and updates that have come to Windows have not reinstalled the app. Help.

Restore Microsoft Store application in Windows 10

After multiple attempts, I managed to get Store open by enabling Developer mode (as suggested by one of the posters here) and running the command "Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}" in Powershell. Not sure if is exactly the solution since I've tried different steps suggested by different users in different forums (including uninstalling Store separately) but hey, I am not complaining!
