The Windows store, also called the Windows Store , is a central point from which we can install and manage not only Windows 10 own applications; but also third-party applications that have been verified which guarantees their integrity and reliability..

We must add the package name in the \ <PackageFullName> field.
In this case we execute the following:
Add-AppxPackage -register “C: \ Program Files \ WindowsApps \ Microsoft.WindowsStore_11809.1001.8.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe†–DisableDevelopmentMode
This will cause the Windows Store application to be restored to its original values.
3. How to reinstall all applications built into Windows 10
A somewhat more drastic method is to reinstall all applications integrated in Windows 10, which can help correct all errors that may be present in the applications in one step.
To do this we will run the following from Windows PowerShell as administrators:
