Windows Store - here's how

Answer 1

Reload the "Windows Store" app

---

Would you like to reinstall the Windows Store on your computer? We'll show you how..

It's annoying if the Windows Store provided by Microsoft doesn't work properly on your Windows 10 PC. To fix the store, you should reinstall the app. Unfortunately, this cannot be done via the normal app overview, but has to be done manually with some PowerShell commands.

Note: This tip only works if the Store app has not been completely removed from Windows 10 beforehand. Microsoft does not support complete deinstallation of the store.

Reload the "Windows Store" app

1. In the Windows menu " PowerShell on" and click with the right mouse button on the corresponding result.
2. Select "Run as administrator " and confirm this by entering a password, if necessary.
3. Now you have to enter the following command and confirm with [Enter] : Get -Appxpackage -Allusers
4. You will now be shown a complete list of all installed apps and programs. You can see the Windows Store app relatively far below.
5. Copy the value after the label " PackageFullName ".
6. Now enter the following command and confirm again with [Enter] : Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\[XXX]\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

1. Instead of [XXX] just entering the previously saved value behind " PackageFullName ". Now the Windows Store will be completely reinstalled and will hopefully work as it should again afterwards. You may have to restart the PC.
