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..

Windows PowerShell is a management console thanks to which it will be possible to manage hundreds of system values ​​and will be useful for reinstalling the Windows 10 store.
Step 1

Get-Appxpackage –Allusers
This cmdlet is responsible for deploying all applications installed on Windows 10 with details such as:
- Publisher ID and lots of additional information.
In this list we must detect the line called Microsoft.WindowsStore and copy the contents of the PackageFullName line:

Step 2
Once this line is selected, we will execute the following syntax:
Add-AppxPackage -register “C: \ Program Files \ WindowsApps \ PackageFullName†–DisableDevelopmentMode

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:

This task may take longer since you will be resetting the system applications one by one:
With any of these solutions, we can enjoy again the advantages of the store in Windows 10.
