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.

- I literally tried everything including resetting my pc and nothing worked until I found this!
- *THIS* is the solution to this problem.
Thank you very much. Worked like a charm.
Two suggestions:
1. fix your list. step 1 Open Xbox App is buried in the paragraph above. I initially missed that
2. I was also missing the xbox app, so I couldn't get started. Many links I saw redirected me to the store app to install the Xbox App (which I could not - no store) so I found/downloaded the Xbox App msi file from here:

Thank you once more, because like I others I tried many solutions that did not work.. this one worked perfectly! - dre76fixitproper Wow You saved my life 🙂 I was struggling for 3 days applying all methods to get Store App ( RegEdit/Resetting PC/complex packaging commands in powershell searching all over internet ) but this is purely genius you are deserved to be in Microsoft.. Than you so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!
dre76fixitproper Thanks for posting this. I've been searching and trying everything to get the Store app back but nothing worked except for this one.
- HAHHAhahhahhahahhhahahhhaaa....... it worked
- Win11 did an update overnight & for the second time in 6 or months, the MS apps are AWOL. Still searching as this one did not work. Ran the Xbox app, comes up with a dialog box about performing an update, reaches 95%, disappears and two very quick dialog boxes flash & then nothing. Have used a previous repair using command shell commands, just need to find it again.
- Right there with you, My Win 11 Store App will not reinstall from this information. Like other download attempts, I get "There was a problem loading the installation, try again" So far nothing has worked, I am not rebuilding my system again.
- Thanks dre76fixitproper!
Do you also have a solution, if the XBox App is not installed 🤷:male_sign:- I was coming off a reset, so I didn’t have the app either. You can download the Xbox App from a browser through the Xbox site, I just googled Xbox PC App. Then I was able to do OP’s solution!
- I’ve been at this for hours, and the fix was this simple the whole time lol. Thank you!!
dre76fixitproper Thank you good sir, youre a life saver! recently i had to restore my system due a malfunction on a windows update (quelle surprise..) and boom, no store on the new install, tried everything down and there, youre solution is the only one that worked, even though i had to reinstall the xbox app first. Anyway, thanks again!!
- it's amazing, i tried everything to get it but it didn't work, you're a genius
