Windows 10: Re-register Store app in Windows 10

R2Mog,

Do you have the latest drivers installed from Lenovo below for your Yoga 11S?

Thanks again Brink! Apparently my Lenovo automatic updates isn't working properly, so even though it looked like I was getting updated drivers I must not have been getting all of them. I went ahead and installed any driver that Lenovo says is Win 10 compatible and the system is running much smoother now. Must have been one of the old drivers for Win 8 that was messing things up when combined with the November Win 10 update. I guess time will tell, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed...

 

Great news. You're most welcome. *Smile

 

Hello,
I recently upgraded to Win10 (from Win 7), after a few days and the latest updates I ran into the issue of the store not opening (and related apps), icons on taskbar went blank as well. I tried the solution of this thread but this is what I got as an answer....any tips/next step ?

Hello melusine, and welcome to Ten Forums.

I'm afraid that will usually need a repair install to fix without losing anything. *Sad

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

Does that mean we start all over with installations and such, having to reinstall Office, developer studios, and CAD software and about 100 or so other non windows store applications?

 

Hello bendespain, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Your installed programs and apps will remain intact when doing a repair install since it's basically just doing an in-place upgrade to the same edition.

 

Thanks, but what exactly will be changed? That's the problem with these "big stick" fixes... right? I'll end up spending hours addressing everything it changed... right?

 

Nope. You should be good to go as you were when it's finished.

Of course, I would always recommend to create a system image and back up anything that you don't want to lose to be extra safe.

 

I have Windows 10 Enterprise Editions 2015 LTSB and the store is disable by default. I ran the bat file and it did not work.
any help would be appreciated.

 

Hello GilbertsGrape, and welcome to Ten Forums. *Smile

Did you uninstall the Store or all apps from all users?

If so, then this will not help. Instead you could do a repair install without losing anything.

Repair Install Windows 10 with an In-place Upgrade

 

from what i have read it was not included in my edition " Long Term Servicing Branch". I want to add it back like the photo viewer.

Windows 10 Long Term Servicing Branch. If you don’t know what Win10 LTSB is, read our short explanation. The problem is that Windows 10 LTSB is intentionally missing several important programs like Cortana, Edge and the Store.
