Microsoft Store App is Uninstalled [SOLVED]

Go to solution Solved by MadAnt250,

HA HA! GOOD NEWS!

I have an update, so the MS Store had somehow got uninstalled after the last update (I don't know how) and I have made many attempts to get it back by following instructions posted by people on other sites and... no luck. The Troubleshooter did jack, a bunch of commands in Power Shell did not work because the files no longer existed, and I even attempted to install the MS Store for window 8 with no luck.

 

So... What do? Well, this fix came kinda by accident. I opened the Xbox app and got a green little message telling me I need the Microsoft Store or something (I forgot what the whole thing said) and on the right at the end it said "install". So I clicked it and BAM the MS Store was installed within seconds, yep, it was back, the crappy store was back. 

 

Now after all that, I feel that this is a stupid way of fixing it, people who not play games would never know, people are just dealing with issue for a long time or having to reinstall windows, because they can't find a fix for this. WTF MICROSOFT! 

 

TL;DR

So if anyone has the same problem as I did and you have the Xbox app (not the old one), open the Xbox app and click "install" in the green message box or whatever it is and maybe, just maybe it might install and come back.

 

Also, there may be a possibility the MS Store can be installed and prompted to do so in other apps, I don't know which other ones though.

Well, ever since the last Windows 10 update the Microsoft store app has been blacked out and does not work. I have reset it, I tried multiple commands suggested from answers.microsoft.com, I done a system restore and nothing has worked.

Also, I cannot find the store app in the settings or the files

I don't know, this is maybe a simple fix or not, I don't know. Maybe I should just not care about the microsoft store.

Thanks in advance for any input.
