The true fix for missing Windows 11 Store 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.
- 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!
- thanks for this information!
Pure genius
I have been searching all day how to get my missing App Store back, I have lost count of the amount of scans, registry edits etc I have tried and nothing worked. I was about to do a full reset when I came upon this solution, I was a little sceptical at first but guess what? It works 
Thank you for taking the time to post this solution.
Thank you for posting your fix. I too searched and tried for hours before finding your post - it worked for me as well. I have a new computer w/ windows 11 pre-loaded, so it wasn't due to an upgrade issue. I don't know how the app disappeared, but I did change quite a few privacy settings and uninstalled other apps that came pre-loaded. Again, thank you for taking the time to post your solution.
- omg thanks for this information, looking for solution at many forums, now finally fix it.
Siao98 not longer than I looked at encountered this issue with every update for Windows 10. Windows 11 still carry’s same flaws of sector errors forming when an update stalls and you have to go thru powering down.
- it's amazing, i tried everything to get it but it didn't work, you're a genius
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!!
- I’ve been at this for hours, and the fix was this simple the whole time lol. Thank you!!
- 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.
- HAHHAhahhahhahahhhahahhhaaa....... it worked
