Windows Store apps can't download/run (1803 17133.73)

On the last two Insider Preview builds (17133.1 and now 17133.73) none of my Windows Store apps will run. This means I can't submit the bug via the Feedback Hub. When I check the downloads in the Win...

And you were able to successfully reinstall all the apps, including the Feedback Hub?

      I ran that command to remove all the store apps, and now I can't get the Windows Store app re-installed. Ugh.

       

      Found someone else with the exact same problem:

      They use the Binisoft Windows Firewall Control app, which I also use. Trying to get more detail to see how they fixed the problem.

       

      Although I'm worried now I really messed everything up by removing the apps now that I can't re-install the Store. :(

        have you restarted your pc?

         

        try disabling defender and any sort of firewall and run this command through power shell admin (right click windows icon)

         

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