Windows 10: Microsoft store has disappeared and is not redownloading

I could not download anything on the Microsoft store so I decided to reset it. Doing this made it disappear from my laptop. I am on windows 10.You cannot access it anywhere unless you search for it and it will not open. I tried following a method to reinstall it which did not work. When you go into apps and features to try and reset again it is not listed as one of the apps. I have tried many methods to make it work but it did not.Before I reset it I could not download anything without getting error code 0xC002001B.

App disappeared from Microsoft store

Hello,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

• Which security software is installed in the computer?

Try the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I would suggest you to clear the Store cache and check if the issue persists.

Press Windows key + R

Type wsreset.exe and press OK

Step 2: Disable the security software and check.

Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software,
you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Also, I suggest you run the Windows Store app troubleshooter and check.
Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows Key + X..
  
• 
  Click on Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on View All.
  
• 
  Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.
  

Hope this helps. If you face any issues with Windows, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
