The true fix for missing Windows 11 Store App.
Here it is ignore other fixes tried them all they don’t work. I lost the Store App in the upgrade from 10 to 11. Even resetting PC never brought it back. So if that sounds similar to how you lost it do this 20 second fix. 1. Open Xbox App
2. Open settings.
3. Click on General settings tab (left second tab on list)
4. In upper right of screen (window) there will be a list of system bundles that are missing (I had three) click install on all of them. When installed it’s done close app.
5. Open Windows settings and go to Apps tab, then Apps and features (very top) scroll down list your welcome Store is back. Go set a restore point cause who knows what a windows update will do next.

- speq1Copper ContributorThank you. I have been going crazy wondering where my Store was. It's there along with everything else that was missing.

dre76fixitproper thank you for sharing this. I wasted two days trying all the other steps to install MS Store into my new PC, and nothing worked. This one did!
For those reading, even if you don't have XBox app, it is free and you can download it directly off the XBox website. Once you open it up, there are app installers for MS Store and others, built into the XBox app. It worked!

I have wrestling with this problem too long and this won't help either 'cos Xbox app won't open (can't update, try later)! This is so **bleep**ing annoying situation ... I have win 11 and checked that all updates a fine and permissions to update are fine ... I really don't know what to do? I tried this lates, https://www.groovypost.com/howto/reinstall-the-microsoft-store-on-windows-11/ but does't worked!? When I try to install Store , installation goes "neverending Story" ...
