Windows 10: Windows Store has disappeared

Windows Store has disappeared, Can anyone help???

:)

 

Windows store disappeared in Windows 10

The store was working fine until I downloaded updates KB 3074686, KB 3074678, KB3074683, KB 2267602. After restarting the store has disappeared. It is not in the apps list or on the bar at the bottom of the screen. I have tried :


Step 1:

Search for an app and pin it to Start

If you usually start an app by tapping or clicking it from Start, but can no longer find it there, check to make sure the app wasn’t accidentally unpinned from Start.

To search for an app and pin it to Start, follow these steps:

a) Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)

b) Enter the name of the app (Windows Store) you want to find.

c) If you see the app listed in the results, swipe down on or right-click the app, and then tap or click Pin to Start.



Step 2:

If the issue still persists, run a System File Checker scan and check if that helps. Refer the following steps to run SFC scan.

a) Move the mouse pointer to bottom left of the screen where you see preview of start menu and Right-click to bring up a list of Windows settings.

b) Click on ‘Command Prompt (Admin) to bring up elevated command prompt. Note: Click ‘Yes’ if it prompts for permission.

c) In the command prompt type in the following command: ‘sfc /scannow’.

and it did not help. Any other suggestions?

 

App disappeared from Microsoft store

Hello,

Thank you for posting the query on Microsoft Community. I am glad to assist you on this.

• Which security software is installed in the computer?

Try the below steps and check if it helps.

Step 1: I would suggest you to clear the Store cache and check if the issue persists.

Press Windows key + R

Type wsreset.exe and press OK

Step 2: Disable the security software and check.

Important: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software,
you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

Also, I suggest you run the Windows Store app troubleshooter and check.
Follow the steps:

• 
  Press Windows Key + X..
  
• 
  Click on Control Panel.
  
• 
  Select Troubleshooting.
  
• 
  On the left pane, click on View All.
  
• 
  Click on Windows Store apps to run the troubleshooter.
  

Hope this helps. If you face any issues with Windows, do get back to us. We will be happy to assist you.
