Microsoft Store missing from Windows 11 insider preview
I have recently installed the latest Windows 11 Pro insider preview (ARM version) in a VM on my M1 Mac with Parallels Desktop. Windows seems to run fine, but the Microsoft Store app is missing. There is no icon for the Store, and the Store doesn't appear in the list of Apps in Settings.
How do I get the Store installed? Thanks!

Do like me, I accidentally got the Store back when I turned on the Xbox, it needed some part of the Store and suggested downloading the Store itself, I had lost it.
- Same issue with 22598.200 on ARM64. Starts with defective store which then vanishes. None of the suggestions here work, sadly. Reported in the Feedback Hub.
- Go to github.com/kkgo/ltsc-add-microsoftstore then press enter.
you will get a list click code download it then extract file with win-rar then right-click file
and run as adminstrator you will then find that store will be download1960gjh your link don't work
here I’ll repost for you forget about all the other nonsense they work for some not for others and way to much time and effort and use of windows features most are. Or well versed in. Do this, this is a definite and its the easiest by far. open xbox app, go into settings click on general tab. at very top there will be list of apps /files missing choose install on all of them and you are done. Windows Store will be among the missing.
downeaster59 Try to run this command in your windows powershell (as admin): wsreset.exe -i
- Great solution. I use VMFusion so parallels wasnt an option. wsreset.ext -i did the trick!!
So, why Microsoft Store is not available by default?
The following command helps me to restore Microsoft store:
wsreset.exe -i- This worked like a dream!
mahnunchik dude you have no idea how long i been searching for that. i even use swreset before but didnt use the -i switch. thank you very much. got my store back and all is well (so far anyway hahahahaha)
why has there not been an executable file issued to correct this snafu thats happens way too often and the number of fixes is not good thing to see cause that just makes hands go up which one to chose to start with. well none work whatsoever. why does this happen in the first place, obviously the upgrade to 11 has bugs cause thats when i lost myh store and it was still gone when reset pc? put out a proper dam fix already
- forget about every other fix, this is a definite and its the easiest by far. open xbox app, go into settings click on general tab. at very top there will be list of apps /files missing choose install on all of them and you are done
downeaster59 I fixed this issue by following these steps:
- Going to Settings > Privacy & security > For developers : Enable Install apps for any source.
- Sideload (based on your chip architecture and in this order.):
- Microsoft.VCLibs.140.00_14.0.30704.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
- Microsoft.NET.Native.Framework.2.2_2.2.29512.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
- Microsoft.NET.Native.Runtime.2.2_2.2.28604.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe.Appx
- Microsoft.WindowsStore_12107.1001.15.0_neutral___8wekyb3d8bbwe.AppxBundle

Thanks to your link, I was able to install the Microsoft Store!
I would like to add one more point:
To install the Microsoft VCLibs package, I had to turn off Widgets from Taskbar settings and also end the Widgets.exe task from Taskbar. - this guide fixed my issue on win 11 arm64 macbookpro m1. thaankyou
