How to restore Windows Store

Recommended Posts

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.

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

@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 :classic_biggrin::classic_biggrin:

 

Gkrrr....10.4 is far, right 🙂
