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

Yeah, I tried restarting, and I wasn't able to disable Defender (it just ignored me and turned itself back on). My PC is completely messed up now ... really regretting running that Powershell command to remove all Store apps. Now my Start menu won't even open. Looks like I'm going to have to re-install and start over. :(
I'm thinking I'm done with the Insider program anyway ... it's been causing me way too many headaches at home.

And once again in the Windows Store app all 14 apps show as having download/install errors (Code: 0x80070005). I don't want to have to refresh/reset my PC AGAIN. This needs to be fixed!

Well, I had to do a PC Reset, which fixed the problem ... all the Windows Store apps are functional again.
Now, though, I have to re-install all my applications again. Oh well.
