Windows 10: Microsoft Store Missing from Computer

Hello. My uncle called me today to ask me why he can't view pictures. He says he keeps getting an error that says he "needs a new app for this" or something along those lines. So I did some googling and they said to just redownload pictures from the app store.

Here's the problem: The Microsoft Store app is completely gone from his computer.

So far, I've tried: - running the wsreset.exe command in the win+r box - Running the command Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($\_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml"} as admin in powershell - Running the command Get-AppXPackage \*WindowsStore\* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($\_.InstallLocation)\\AppXManifest.xml"} as admin in powershell

None of it has worked. Are there other options? I'm worried his computer is totally fubar and I'm not sure a factory reset is an option for him.

PS: I live about 5 hours away so I have to do all this over the phone.

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: [email protected] ( 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 )

 

Microsoft Store app missing.

I had a brand new Dell Precious laptop where Microsoft Store and Windows Calculator was missing from day 1. I have tried everything suggested with 10 steps guides etc, loads of PowerShell commands but nothing worked.

So the solution in the end for me was to re-install everything, starting with a Windows 10 release 1903 edition. That has successfully been upgraded to release 1909 and the Microsoft Store etc. is now available and the apps now work as expected.
