I completely uninstalled microsoft Store, now I want it back.

The "Restore All Builtin Apps" Powershell worked for me......,

... but then had to uninstall the other stuff again...

I use the Store so don't understand why anyone would want to uninstall it. If you don't like it, don't use it but why uninstall it?

As techies lots of people like to be in full control of their systems. Many will try to remove as much as they can for the following reasons:

1. Lowering system overhead and resources
2. Reducing disk usage
3. Attempting to reduce privacy concerns
4. speeding up their computer.

However, at the end of the day, not even Microsoft can tell you "Exactly" what is going to happen if you remove some component to your system. There are over 50 million lines of code in Windows 10. Calls are made "expecting" to find certain resources to be present on the system. In addition, third party software vendors also have code that is dependent in some fashion on the expectation of certain system components being present. When you start to remove these at your own discretion, you are ultimately going to be responsible for the 1-off snowflake system that you have created. Obviously Microsoft when testing functionality, features, hot fixes and patches aren't going to test every configuration humanly possible. They will be testing with the expectation that certain components are present on the system.

My personal gut feel here is that the small gains that "might" result from making changes like this probably aren't worth the time and effort that people put forward. But it's not my time and it's not my effort, they are certainly free to tinker as they wish.

I've witnessed incredible attempts in the past of disabling services to lower boot times and increase performance. However, I've also found that many aren't actually sitting there with a stopwatch timing out these changes. They just "feel" it's faster, or better in some way. Then, 6 months down the road they show back up on a forum site with a unique problem that nobody has ever seen and they are threatening to move to Linux, or buy a Mac, or otherwise say "up yours Microsoft, your system is garbage".

l've also seen hacked systems that bypass activation exhibit some really funky behavior. People get enraged that their system isn't functioning right, and actually complain that for $200 for a copy of Windows the damn thing certainly better work right. Then, you find out they have some janky pirated copy of Windows that they paid $0 for is the culprit. So, they instead install using the Media creation tool, and low and behold the exact same steps they tried before all of a sudden is now working as expected.

At the end of the day, it's up to the end-user how they want to spend their time. I remember asking Ghot recently why he was so dead set on getting rid of the new Microsoft edge. I mean, I don't use it either. So, I remove it from the quick launch bar, remove the icon from the desktop, and just forget that it's actually there. Then I see this post noting that maybe he wants the store back, and it's proving to be more difficult than he thought...and I think......"kinda saw where this was heading".

At the end of the day though, my thoughts and opinions are just my own. I love to read and respond to posts. Help out where I can and try to make logical arguments either for or against certainly technologies. I always try to be civil and level headed.

Carry on :)

Method #9 worked, here: Windows 10 Store not Installed [FIXED] - Appuals.com

I hope you changed the execution policy back to undefined or restricted after using method 9.
Otherwise, they have opened a hole for malicious scripts.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/pow...1#unrestricted
Please check with the PowerShell as Administrator the Policys with this command:

Code:

Get-ExecutionPolicy -List

Is the Local Machine Policy set to unrestricted change back to undefined with this PowerShell command:

Code:

Set-ExecutionPolicy undefined

Then check the Policys again.

Sorry for any mistakes. English is not my native language

It means that all scripts can be executed. You will only get a message When the script is not signed.
One should always be careful. And scripts from the Internet should be checked before executing them.

Friendly greetings
