[SOLVED] Microsoft Store disappeared

wvl · Jan 18, 2022

I changed a new hard drive and installed Windows 10 yesterday and I couldn't find Microsoft Store app.
I searched some information on internet and tried to fix this error, so I found a solution and ran the command:
Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
in Windows Powershell but it almost did nothing

If someone else doesn't chime in, I'll address this on my lunch break at work.

Did you happen to see the light blue bar appear like above? It took me a couple of tries to get that screenshot. It can be fast. You can run it again and see if you notice that bar. Then reboot and check the issue.

How are you looking for the app? Hit Start, type store, and it should come up.

Let us know.

You can also perform in-place upgrade of Windows 10. In-place upgrade is to use to replace the current operating system files on your computer. Unlike a clean installation of Windows, you can start a Windows in-place upgrade when your OS is still running. And an in-place upgrade can keep your files, settings, & apps during the upgrade process. You can perform a Windows 10 in-place upgrade is to use the Windows 10 Media Creation Tool. Make sure to select Upgrade this PC now and click Next. Follow the on-screen guide to perform a Windows 10 in-place upgrade.

Hi.

Let's see if this helps.

Run Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM)

Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
Enter the command below and press on Enter;

Code:

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Let the scan run until the end (100%). Depending on your system, it can take some time.
Please post here the result you got (screenshot)

When DISM finishes, you can then run SFC from the same command prompt window, but full instructions as if starting fresh:

Click on the Start button and in the search box, type Command Prompt
When you see Command Prompt on the list, right-click on it and select Run as administrator
Enter the command below and press Enter

Code:

sfc /scannow

Let the scan finish.

You will normally get one of the following results:

Code:

Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files and successfully repaired them
Windows Resource Protection found corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them
Windows Resource Protection could not perform the requested operation

Please post the result you got (screenshot)

Before going for a more complicated procedure:

Open the Start Menu, type cmd, right-click and Run as Administrator.
In the elevated command prompt, type the following command:
Code:
```
Dism /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase
```
Let the scan run.
After this, try again the DISM command here and let me know the result.
