cannot install microsoft store on Win10

Hi all,

i performed a clean install of Win10 and now i dont have Microsoft Store installed on my PC.

yes, i've tried many of the suggestions on this site, to no avail.

as an example i've tried various methods, including Powershell (Admin) Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} but that didnt work either. The cursor just kept blinking. no error, just nothing happened.

then opened Powershell (Admin) again and ran Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted, then reinstall-preinstalledApps script which came up with an error, seen below.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks all.
