Windows 10: Windows default apps like store, gamebar etc. is missing after reset

So my sisters laptop is having a problem with wifi in her laptop and it's also very laggy. her wifi keeps disappearing so i reset it since my friend has the same problem and it worked for him. after the reset process is done, it stil does not have wifi, only ethernet, so i finished the setup offline. After the setup is done, i tried to fix it and I fixed it, when i was opening files i backuped before the reset, i'm surprised that i can't open a picture, it says ms-windows-store-link thingy like this:

so I realized it doesnt have the default apps like the pictures app and the video app, and the store, gamebar etc.


i have tried many fixes to this like in the powershell solution where it reinstalls every built in apps that comes with windows but it only installed bubble witch and candy crush,






I also saw where you just search store in apps and features and click reset but it doesnt even show on the apps and features

so I've searched but it's still the same solutions and stuff, does anyone know how to fix this?

Hi Bhavin,

Corruptions may be the possible reason why your Windows Store and default apps are missing. To isolate your issue, we'd like to gather more information:

• What troubleshooting steps have you done so far?
• Have you tried booting up your computer in Safe Mode?

In the meantime, we suggest that you download and run the
Windows Update Troubleshooter for Windows 10 and
Windows Apps Troubleshooter to diagnose apps issue. In addition to that may also perform the instructions in this

article which allows you to scan for corruptions and restore corrupted files.

No Windows Store or default apps

I hope I'm posting in the right section here. A while ago I had been having some issues with my machine. To combat this, one of the suggestions I saw was to remove the Windows store and the default apps. At that point I thought it would be temporary or otherwise reversible, and removed it.

Now, however, I can't seem to restore it. I've read that it can be restored by resetting the PC, but I don't want to have to start over to get my store back, as it's been a few months since I've removed it. I need it back for a few key default apps as well as a game only available in the Windows store. Any suggestions will be very appreciated!

 

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
