Windows 10: Microsoft Store - PowerShell or CMD Manual Install???

I'm runing Windows 11 Home Edition. I tweaked my system for better performance via Scripts, and I inadvertently unistalled the Microsoft Store App. I do not want to perform a system restore or reinstall Windows 11 to get the Microsoft Store App back as it will undo the changes I have made and I will have to go back through the whole process. My question is:"Is there a PowerShell or CMD Line Script that I can use to maually reinstall the Microsoft Store App?"Thanks.

Re-Installing the Microsoft Store

Hi Wisedred,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



In this scenario we would suggest you to perform these steps to Reinstall and Re-Register all Windows apps for all accounts.

1. Press Windows + X key and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
   
2. Copy and paste this command, then press enter:
   Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
   
3. Close the PowerShell command and restart the PC.
   
4. Open Microsoft Store and install the game.

If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check if you are able to open Microsoft Store and then install the game, refer this article to
create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10.
