Windows 10: Updating MS Store applications

Hello,I have an issue that i cannot find the solution to.We have Windows 10 machines that are flagging in our vulnerability scans with out of date apps. Notably 3D viewer, Codec library and the Photos app.The issue is that our vendor scanner is flagging these as as examples below:Microsoft vulnerable Microsoft.Microsoft3DViewer detected Version '6.1908.2042.0' Microsoft vulnerable Microsoft.VP9VideoExtensions detected Version '1.0.22681.0' However for the user that is logged on, the apps are upto date.It looks as though when athe MS store app updates, it only updates

:)

Hi Khan,

Corrupted
System Files
and
Windows Store Components are some possible causes why these applications are not working. We suggest that you uninstall these
applications and perform these methods of troubleshooting:

Method 1: Update your drivers.

Updating your
drivers will help your applications and other system to run
smoothly with your currents Windows version.
To know how to update your drivers, click
here.

Method 2:
Run SFC Scan.  

SFC
will
scan
and
run
an
automatic repair
to any
corrupted system files
that it will detect. We suggest that you perform it twice. To run an
SFC scan, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type
  sfc /scannow
  and hit
  Enter.   
  

Method 3:
Run DISM Tool.  

DISM
will
restore any Corrupted System Image
that causes the
issues
on your
Windows. To perform DISM, follow these steps:  

• 
  Run
  Command Prompt as Administrator.  
  
• 
  Type the following command:  
  
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /scanhealth  
    
  • 
    DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth  
    

NOTE:
This might take a while to finish scanning.
Do not cancel.

Method 4: Resetting Windows Store.

To reset your
Windows Store, just press
Windows key + R,
type
WSReset.exe
and hit
Enter. Resetting
your
Windows Store
will install new
System Files
and
Components
replacing those corrupted ones.

After performing these methods, kindly
reinstall
those
applications
and check if there are any changes.

Update us on how it goes so that we can investigate it further in case the troubleshooting fails.

Regards.

 

Restore Microsoft Store application in Windows 10

The answer of @Badiboy helps my problem.
I removed a lot of metro apps but kept ms-store with MSMG toolkit before I install windows 10 x86 on a very old laptop. Unfortunately, MS Store does not work after installation.

I fixed it by following @Badiboy guideline.

1. Run command add-AppxPackage ...Store..., error information shows my system missed Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.4.
   
2. I copied Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.4 from another windows 10 and register it with -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.1.4.1.4.24201.0_x86_8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml"
   
3. following step 5 to grant access permissions for "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES" account to WindowsApps folder.
   
4. Run 'Store' and it works!
