How to restore Windows Store

[John Kouraklis 94]

By any chance, does anyone know how to restore windows store?

 

I had this idea to get rid of all the unnecessary apps that come with windows and I removed them and windows store from Win 10 via PowerShell.

 

Now, Windows consumes 100% CPU and I can see that processes like wsappx and the like get stuck so I assume that totally removing windows store is not a good idea at all.

 

I tried to reinstall it via PowerShell, Creator Disk to fix Windows Installation and other methods but no luck at all.

 

Before I do a clean installation maybe someone has a tip on this?

 

Thanks

Why don't you just recover from the backup you made before this experiment?

Well, the experiment was 1 year ago and I recently concluded that this must be the reason windows eat CPU load....

Sadly, no backups are avail.

@John Kouraklis I did that few times and DISM tool will do it, but there was one time that it did failed and i had to use :

SFC /scannow

 

For DISM :

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

 

for more information or if you don't want the online version (not recommended)

@Kas Ob. I think I tried DISM before but I get some errors saying that the manifest files are not correct.

 

I will try sfc

 

Thanks

Argh! I feel with you.

Forget about dism and SFC, those commands never fixed any issues since I'm working with computers 🙂 The command you are looking for is wsreset, I think I had to use it a couple of times on my Insider PC.

Neither sfc nor dism fixed anything although they said they completed successfully.

 

wsreset sadly fails. I've tried many times before.

 

It says "You'll need a new app to open this ms-window-store link"

 

That's why I believe I need a fresh installation

@John Kouraklis Then you already did some real damage somewhere and one last solution left to be tried, download this https://www.majorgeeks.com/files/details/tweaking_com_windows_repair.html

and use it to restore Windows Store, i used this tool for many things but never for the store.

@Kas Ob. Yeah...there must be something seriously wrong.

 

I tried the app you sent but it says that win store repair is disabled because win store frequent changes

 

I then downloaded an updated win store repair wizard I found online and it is asking me to login to my email account. But when I try to add an email account the popup window shuts down.

 

So the whole installation is damaged. I will not avoid a clean install.

 

The only thing I am bored of is the installation of all delphi packages

 

Gkrrr....10.4 is far, right 🙂
