  1. Microsoft store is missing from my Windows 11 and I can't download it


    Searching for Microsoft store or any variation in start menu doesn't come up with anything. When I search it online and click the link to download it on Microsoft.com and anyother site that might have it there either isn't a download button or option just a dead end or it's just missing or the button has a strange title like "get in store app" I have tried the cmd prompt to reset as listed in a reply to a similar question in this forum and I just get this error message : We can't open this 'ms-windows-store' link. Your device needs a new app to open this link. What on Earth"??? Just got t

  2. Win 10 Microsoft App Store Missing

    Hi, I'm having a huge issue with a clients laptop and none of the forums , YouTube tutorials or Microsoft support has been able to help me with this problem .
    The Microsoft store App has completely disappeared from they're Laptop , other Microsoft store apps are still there but they don't run.

    I have tired to use the methods mentioned on theses websites ( only posting a few since all of them say the same things)
    [ Top 4 Ways to Fix Microsoft Store Missing in Windows 10 ]

    This is the one ill use as reference: Solved: Microsoft Store App missing in Windows 10 version 2004

    In the above mentioned site it gave a few ways to fix it ( none worked ) , i'll list all the ones i tried and try and give as much information about the results as possible.
    In order :
    1 . Run Trouble Shooter for "Windows Store Apps" , no problems detected .
    2 . Reset Windows Store cache using Win+R . gives you the "you'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store" popup box
    3 . Re-Register Microsoft Store using power shell (look at reference link to see what code was used , results in the posted snapshot)

    4 . Run DISM command in elevated command prompt (again look at reference for commands used) , "check health" showed component store as repairable,
    but following commands resulted in nothing but 16 hours of waiting with no results
    5 . Manually Repair Microsoft Store , downloaded the file given (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=619547)
    ran the first command step 5. as written on site (results image ) . tried skipping step 5. and went straight to step 6. (results in image)

    i uploaded a system info file ("msinfo32.nfo") at filehosting.org you can view it at below link .
    (this is a download link for the nfo file) https://www.filehosting.org/file/det...7/msinfo32.nfo

    Also . . . . unfortunately i don't know when the problem started or if it was caused after a update , app install or something like that . All i know about what happened before i was contacted is what they told me , apparently the Microsoft store kept giving a error code when trying to update or connect to account ( they conveniently don't remember the code though) . i have searched all they're apps from top to bottom and i cant find any trace of the MS store , all that remains are the games and apps they downloaded from the store before it started with it's problems .

    I also ask that any info or help you can give to be posted below (obviously) and if you guys can possibly also send it to my personnel email L: kobuscoetsee78@gmail.com ( this account was created with my clients details , i don't use my personnel details on my clients devices ever! . any info you guys can send to my own email will help me a lot , since i might then be able to start making any necessary preparations before getting back to them )

  3. Microsoft Store How to download - Windows 11

    I Have the same issue. Microsoft store is completely missing from my computer. I keep seeing this error: You’ll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store

    I tried these steps:

    • Update windows
    • **Reset the Microsoft Store cache
      Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.
      Note
    • Reinstall the Store:
      Press Windows key + X
      Click and Run Windows PowerShell as Administrator
      At the command prompt, copy-paste the following then hit Enter:

      Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    • Reinstall windows AND formatted my harddrive.

      I still do not have the Microsoft Store on my computer...

    W11 - Microsoft Store does not open

    When I click on the MS Store icon nothing happens. The icon also appears to be greyed out.

    Tried all of the following with no success:

    Are there any other suggestions?
