Windows Store appllication.

[Payasonic]

Hi there, I used your script and i accidentally deleted WindowsStore, next time i tried to use script with option to install WindowsStore it did nothing. Any help would be appreciated.

I've just tried on VM, to be sure, and it works, provided you didn't forget to include admin elevation and haven't used any other tweaking tools (some of which remove the AppX package completely).

Open regular command line (cmd), navigate to the directory with the script and run

powershell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "%~dp0Win10.ps1" -include "%~dp0Win10.psm1" RequireAdmin InstallWindowsStore

If that doesn't work, get an elevated PowerShell (run as admin), run the following and paste all the output here.

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller" | ForEach-Object {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.Services.Store.Engagement" | ForEach-Object {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.StorePurchaseApp" | ForEach-Object {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.WindowsStore" | ForEach-Object {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

hello there, thank you for the fast response.

First i tried to do it with the cmd and i got this message: The argument '%~dp0Win10.ps1' to the -File parameter does not exist. Provide the path to an existing '.ps1' file as an argument to the -File parameter.

when i tried to do the second thing in PowerShell as an admin it did nothing.

once again, thank you very much for helping me.

To be honest i just run the script when i downloaded it and later on i figured out some things should be excluded.

I have deleted ~dp0 from the Win10 lines and managed to get to powershell message which says installing windows store but i still can't find it.

[Disassembler0]

The tweak for Windows Store removal is excluded by default, so if you haven't manually uncommented UninstallWindowsStore in Default.preset, then it wasn't this script what uninstalled Windows Store.

1) When you say "it did nothing", did it at least briefly show the progress bar on the top of the powershell window? Like this

2) Try opening Run prompt (either via right-clicking on Start Menu or via Win+R keyboard shortcut) and run

    ms-windows-store:

It should either launch the Store or give you an error message "You'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link". Let me know what was the result.

3) Please run following command from elevated PowerShell and pase the output

    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers "Microsoft.WindowsStore"

[Payasonic]

Ok, so i saw those commands on internet and used them, once it showed that progress bar, while most of the times it did not. 2.windows cannot find ms-windows-store. Make sure you typed the name correctly...

3. when i run that command it just moves to a new line to type in a command.

Strange i know :(

OS Name Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC Version 10.0.17763 Build 17763 dont know if it might be useful.

Might be that i also corrupted my profile.

Yeah, so this tells us it definitely wasn't caused by the script. Even though there were several attempts (#130, #165, #239, #243) to add tweaks which would uninstall AppX packages for good, your case is the exact reason why I have never added them so far. Because such modifications can't be easily reverted.

There is a rough outline what to do in case something like this happens in my script here: https://github.com/Disassembler0/Win10-Initial-Setup-Script/blob/91a6afba1fd78e07c54a89518f31c633598568c0/Win10.psm1#L2999-L3004 However it requires an installation media and some skills and insight into what you're about to do, because the comments are really just a general guidance.

There's also answered question about the same on superuser.com, but this solution also requires another source of files (another PC or a virtual machine) you need to copy.

[Payasonic]

Thanks very much for the answer! I feared it would come to this, I'll see what i can do with this WindowsApps, etc. and hopefully will bring to a working condition again :)

[Payasonic]

I'm exactly missing Windows Store app in my WindowApps folder.

[Payasonic]

I managed to get the Windows Store app back with a help of superuser.com and most importantly your help!

Thanks a million!
