Windows 10: Windows Store Missing after Windows 10 20H2 Update

I am using Windows 10 Home Edition in my latest Acer Nitro 5 2020 laptop. I recently installed Windows 10 20H2 Update in my laptop. I noticed that I am unable to use my Windows Store as it is not opening at all. I read some older community post for the same issue. I tried to reset the Windows Store in Windows App Settings but it doesn't help. I also tried to re-install Windows Store usingPower shell command.


Than I tried the last method Windows Reset:

First I tried to reset Windows using Local Reinstall Method. But after resetting the windows, Microsoft Store becomes disappeared from Apps List in Windows Settings. I can only notice a broken tab with name ms-resource:StoreTile. I than reset Windows using Cloud Download Method. Even after that I am unable to find Windows Store.


Here are the error message I am getting while trying to reinstall Windows Store using Power shell:


Power shell Command:


Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"}


Error Message:

Pressing “Windows+Pause Break” (it’s up there next to scroll lock) opens the “System” Window.

Windows 10: In the new version of Windows, Explorer has a section called Quick Access. This includes your frequent folders and recent files. Explorer defaults to opening this page when you open a new window. If you’d rather open the usual This PC, with links to your drives and library folders, follow these steps:

• Open a new Explorer window.
• Click View in the ribbon.
• Click Options.
• Under General, next to “Open File Explorer to:” choose “This PC.”
• Click OK

Windows 10 Tweaks

As you may already know, Windows 10 (as well as Windows 8) allow you to log in with a valid Microsoft account, instead of creating a local account that only works on your machine. However, you may prefer to keep a local account for privacy reasons. If you do, though, some Windows 10 features—like Cortana—may not work. Despite the default behavior, the Windows 10 Store is not one of them. You can still log in to your Microsoft account for just the Store without switching to a full Microsoft account. The process, however, is not terribly obvious. To do so, follow these steps:

• Launch the Store from your Start menu.
• Click the user icon next to the search box.
• Click “Sign-in” from the menu that appears.
• Choose “Microsoft account” and log in like normal.
• When the “Make it yours” box appears do not enter your password. Instead, click “Sign in to just this app instead.”
