so the only way to reinstall the Microsoft Store is to download the Xbox app....well played Microsoft.

"Why are you playing Halo?" "I had to reinstall the MS Store..."

You can reinstall the store easily with powershell. You talking about the windows store app?

Tried a variation of that command, no go. I'll give that one a whirl tomorrow

Someone didn't quite understand the difference between Home and Enterprise computing... you remember the games on Server OS.. same stuff.

yeah, i dont have that Microsoft.WindowsStore_* folder....checked the Deleted and DeletedAllUserPackages folder too....wonder if someone deleted it

Can you steal it from another machine? Must have been a brutal removal

it's a green environment, Win10 multisession....this is why automated image builds from scratch are king

Does this link work on windows machines (I’m on iPhone drinking coffee) https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9wzdncrfjbmp?activetab=pivot%3Aoverviewtab&hl=en-us&gl=US
