Windows 10: Missing Store App fix?

Hi peeps,
I'm not very computer savvy so bare with me. I upgraded to windows 10 which went fine but my Store App was missing/corrupted*Sad - all other aspects of win 10 seem to be working absolutely fine. I contacted tech support who spent just short of 5 hours remotely acessing my pc to try to fix the issue. Their only solution was to advise me that I would need to purchase a very large external hardrive and a USB and completely reset my computer. They also advised that I would have to reinstall all the programmes which I have currently on my pc. Given that my 1T hard drive is 80% full including over 100 programmes this doesnt seem a viable option. I currently have very poor internet connection and am reliant on mobile wifi to make downloads. Time wise this can take over 6 hours to download a single programme. In terms of cost I have to pay £30/10G of downloaded data. Downloading Witcher 2 (which I have already bought and installed) which is excess of 20G would in itself cost me £60+ just in data useage and could take 2 days to download. Thats just one programme!

All I want to do is find a way of downloading the store app so I can puchase/download other apps from the Store. Any help much appreciated.

:)

I noticed that several of the missing apps are not installed in the system drive, but in another hard drive. my concern is that Store is also missing. I do not have even in the settings/apps&features' list.

I tried to reset some of the missing apps but I can't reset the Windows Store is if not listed.

 

You can try these tutorial. the first one tries to repair the store, the second on is for a repair install, which keeps all data,universal apps and 3rd party programs.

Thanks for the propmpt reply - unfortunately I'm pretty sure that the tech guys from MS tried this while they accessed my PC for 5 hours - they also tried inputtin all kinds of complex looking codes and command prompts all to no avail.
The second option looks a bit more promising though looking at some of the screen shots posted they also look similar to what the tech peeps tried. In addition I would be very nervous about attempting this as it looks way beyond my level of expertise*Sad The only part of windows 10 that seems to be missing is the Store App - all I want to do is find a link where I can download it as per other apps and programmes - this I would be capable of*Smile

 

I'm sorry to say, but it doesn't work that way. I once uninstalled the store(don't ask, it was an experiment*Redface) and the only way to get it back, was a Repair install. The Store is integrated deep in the OS. It not only downloads, updates & installs other apps, it's also responsible for their correct running.

How did you get Windows 10? Through Windows Update from a prior Windows version? Or did you use the Media Creation Tool, and have a copy of the ISO then?
