DJ-1701 Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 Ok, so for some weird and wonderful reason, on a few of the machines we have had issues with Windows Store not showing... sometimes other apps, but this is the main one. After trying lots of reinstall commands, they have failed, I think mostly because for some reason the Microsoft.WindowStore folder/folders aren't in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps and even coping them over and trying to run the install from the AppManifest.xml file fails. I have been able to install the Store using a Microsoft.WindowsStore_12001.1001.113.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle file... but it only works for that user... not for all users as is the default behaviour for new builds. Also it doesn't help that profiles are wiped on logoff. Anyone got any ideas of how to get this back for all users?
DJ-1701 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 3 days and no ideas? What do I pay the Internet for? I'm gonna talk to BT and you are all going to get into so much trouble for not helping me out!
thimon Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Does the following PowerShell command open the Microsoft Store? As logged in user: start ms-windows-store: 1
DJ-1701 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 Does the following PowerShell command open the Microsoft Store? As logged in user: start ms-windows-store: Unfortunately not, this just comes up instead.
DJ-1701 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 They aren't running LTSC are they? No, no, lord no, haha, they are running Windows 10 Education Edition which has it as standard.
thimon Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 We've used wsreset.exe in PowerShell before as user, or the following command as admin: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”} 1
Jawloms Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 I thought you would know better, but it's sometimes the obvious things which get missed. 1
Arthur Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 (edited) It's a bit of a long shot, but you could try the following command (if any of the suggestions above do not work): Dism.exe /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"X:\amd64fre\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense The Region:"All" command apparently prevents Store apps from being deleted at first logon. If that doesn't work, try the one from this thread since it worked on LTSC. I'm gonna talk to BT and you are all going to get into so much trouble for not helping me out! BT said your Internet license had expired over the weekend. They want £200 in iTunes or Google Play gift cards to renew it. Edited January 27, 2020 by Arthur 1
DJ-1701 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 We've used wsreset.exe in PowerShell before as user, or the following command as admin: Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”} Unforuntately with wsreset.exe I get the lovely white window in the post above as well. As for the command... this is the result I get back... Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml"} Add-AppxPackage : Cannot find path 'C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.0_2.1810.18004.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbweAppXManifest.xml' because it does not exist.

DJ-1701 Posted January 27, 2020 Author Posted January 27, 2020 https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-store-app-missing-windows-10 Steps 1 - 5 look promising? Unfortunately that script didn't work either. It's a bit of a long shot, but you could try the following command (if any of the suggestions above do not work): Dism.exe /Online /Add-ProvisionedAppxPackage /PackagePath:"X:\amd64fre\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle" /Region:"All" /SkipLicense But THIS worked beautifully! Thank you! BT said your Internet license had expired over the weekend. They want £200 in iTunes or Google Play gift cards to renew it. Errrr... it's in the mail! 2
strawberry Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 3 days and no ideas? What do I pay the Internet for? I'm gonna talk to BT and you are all going to get into so much trouble for not helping me out! Have you tried emailing the HT? 1
