Windows 10: Reset Microsoft Store, Now I think it uninstalled itself

I reset microsoft store because it was giving me errors when trying to install apps, now it wont let me open it. It still comes up when I search for it in the start menu, but in Apps and Features, it's not there anymore, and I can't reinstall it through powershell. What should I do? I am not going to reset windows.

Uninstalled apps stuck "installing" in Microsoft Store (MSN News)

Hi Will,

A corrupted Microsoft Store cache is one of the possible reasons why some apps are stuck in an "installing phase" when you try to uninstall them. We suggest that you try running the
Windows App troubleshooter to troubleshoot the issue.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you reset the Microsoft Store cache. You can follow the steps below to reset the Microsoft Store cache:

• Press Windows + R keys to open the run
  command box.
• Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft Store and sign in.

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.

 

App store and Microsoft account

Thank you for the advice

I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

 

How do I fix Windows 10 apps from launching the store instead of the actual app?

This is a sign of app metadata getting damaged.

Try resetting the app (from the App and Features part of Settings). If that failed, uninstall and reinstall the app.

This solution is for Windows v1709 and earlier only. 1803 is not stable enough at this time.

To reset an app:

1. Press Win+X to open the quick access menu.
   
2. Select "Apps and Feature" (which should be on the top)
   
3. Find the affected app and select it.
   
4. Click on the "Advanced options" hyperlink that just appeared.
   
5. In the next screen, press the "Reset" button.
   

To wipe-and-reload an app:

1. Uninstall it.
   
   1. Right-click on its tile and select "Uninstall". proceed to the next step whether you find an uninstall option or not.
      
   2. Press Win+X to open the quick access menu.
      
   3. Select "Apps and Feature" (which should be on the top)
      
   4. Find the affected app and select it. If you can't find it, skip the next step.
      
   5. Click on the "Uninstall" button.
      
2. Open Microsoft Store
   
3. If an update for Microsoft Store is available, install it.
   
4. Navigate to the page corresponding to your app. Do this using the search or via the library. Please don't use any other method.
   
5. If Microsoft Store thinks the app is still installed, click on "Uninstall" button.
   
6. Have every user account on you computer repeat the steps above.
   
7. Go back to Microsoft Store and install it.
