How to install Microsoft Store on Windows 11?
Method 1: Reinstall Microsoft Store with PowerShell
The first method will be to reinstall the Store. We have provided the required command which you are going to use on PowerShell.
The command provided is used in PowerShell to reinstall Microsoft Store for all users on the system in addition to all applications inside Microsoft Store too. However, it’s worth noting that modifying or reinstalling Windows Store apps can sometimes cause issues with the functionality of those apps.
It’s recommended to proceed with caution and consider creating a system restore point or backup before making any changes.
Okay, now open PowerShell from the Start menu. You can search “powershell” in the Start menu too.
Right-click on it and select Run as Administrator option. Paste the command below:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Press Enter to use the command.
This command retrieves a list of all Windows Store apps installed for all users on the system using `Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers`. Then, it uses a `ForEach` loop to iterate through each app and reinstall it using `Add-AppxPackage` with the `-DisableDevelopmentMode` and `-Register` parameters.
Please keep in mind that running this command may take some time, and it’s important to ensure you have the necessary permissions to execute it. Additionally, make sure to copy the command exactly as provided, including any quotation marks, to avoid syntax errors.
NOTE: if you encountered any sort of issues after or before the command given on PowerShell then you are recommended to apply the next method given. As this method will fix all sorts of Microsoft Store issues.
