What do you do if you don't see Microsoft store in apps

[SonyaJersey]

Thank you so much! The last step was the one for me. Yay finally it works again...Everything stopped working, weather, calculator etc, all apps I needed.

[yaserapion]

most of the app links are removed
so if i do wsreset.exe it will give an error that there is no app for ms windows store

[aigoaigo]

What if I can't really locate my ms - store even in setting - apps

Giga chad, thanks for helping me i've been trying to fix this issue for 3 hours now i can play Roblox again. Also your voice reminds me of Technoblade. Rest in peace.

As ADMIN of my users machine, she gets this error. Of note: I had already performed most of these steps-- nice to see them all in one place :) )
She does not have MS STORE but should. WSRESET does nothing, and the first Powershell command to restore all the removed apps, runs, but doesn't restore anything (even after reboot). The second link to go out and get the MS Store, just does nothing. It drops to the next line awaiting my next command... any ideas??

TS found "hanging or crashing apps" not fixed. How do I fix it? I already reset the app as you suggested. I'll move on from this and try the rest of your suggestions, but still might need help with that crashing apps problem. Thank you!

[daviderichsantos]

I have done all the steps. but "You’ll Need a New App to Open This MS-Windows-Store, " is still appearing.

[Heqlx]

Please I beg for help the store isn’t even in my settings

[theballer]

Bro, it is still not working for me I tried every freaking step and my Microsoft store still will not load, I've also tried to play roblox on the regular site but it says ''error 268'' every time I try to join a game, this is just honestly annoying.

[jaisonyacabucci]

I have to do this every 30 mins to 1 hour. Is there a way to make it just stop?

[GordonNick]

thank you the first one fixed my issue

[kcideart]

Thank you for the helpful tips and commands.

[aiden]

ty ive been trying for so long, I almost returned my laptop. lol

[denzpants]

I have used O&O in the past and dws. I actually just need a scientific calc for hex now i know you probably can find some online but i prefer it installed on my computer. Do you perhaps know an alternative to the windows calculator with scientific functions?

[darkangel]

My problem came from accidently terminating the program on a misclick and it requiring me to reinstall the app blah blah blah but your method fixed its stupidity and my user error thanks

[HezrouDhiaga]

Mine was because I deleted xbox's bullshit from my pc and it kept coming up with gamingoverlay issues. So I disabled the game bar from the settlings and it also stopped the thing from popping up.

Still relevant - After the reboot on step, the sound came back. Thank you
