No Microsoft Apps Found After Update To Windows 11

Hi,
I am in the insider program and I got an update to the latest build a couple days ago. I have a hybrid PC ( I have both HDD And SSD) While updating something went wrong and It somehow messed up my boot. I tried everything. Using a repair drive, using cmd, startup repair etc. Then I created a bootable Ubuntu drive and backed up My SSD (Where Windows Was Originally Installed). Then I Downloaded The Windows 11 ISO and created a bootable drive using Rufus. I formatted my SSD and installed windows. When it was installed, I couldn't open windows security, it showed an error "You'll need a new app to open this windowsdefender link". So I seached online and found a microsoft solution. Went into powershell and used those 2 Commands. Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers.......\AppXManifest.xml"} and Get AppxPackage Microsoft.secHealthUI...... Reset-Appxpackage. I didn't white the whole commands above as they are too big and I'm doing this on my phone. Then I realised that even store is not there. Not in installed apps and not even in search. And when I try to use wsreset.exe, it shows " You'll need a new app to open this windows-store link".

So, now I don't know what to do. Hopefully, you can help me.
  • Hello,

    Try to re-register apps all apps. Perform these steps:

    1. Search for Windows PowerShell using Cortana or Windows Search.

    2. From results, right click on Windows PowerShell and select Run as administrator.

    3. Then type following command and press Enter key:

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Let the command complete.

    4. Close Windows PowerShell and see if the issue is resolved now.

    If this doesn't works, try creating a new user account and all apps should be available on that.

    Let us know if this helps!

      This Is What I'm Getting. I've Used This Command A 100 Times. It Doesn't Work. I Restarted After This. No Apps. Tried Creating A New User. Still No Apps. No Paint, No Snipping Tool, No Store, The Defender Doesn't Open Etc. I Don't Know What Else To Do.

    Another issue that comes up sometimes, which is VERY rare (only the early releases of Windows 11 had this issue,) is you may be stuck with a bad ACL entry for "C:\Program Files". I'm not saying that it's not possible to run this on a running / online operating system image, but it's often safer to run this script from the command prompt on WinPE:

    REM Batch file to reset ACLs on WinPE for offline images only:
    @ECHO OFF
    SETLOCAL
    icacls C: /inheritance:r /grant:r "ALL APPLICATION PACKAGES":(OI)(CI)(F) /c /l /q
    icacls "C:\*.*" /reset /t /c /l /q
