Install Windows Store if its been removed and had its provisioning removed as well from Windows 10

The steps I took to get the store back on are as follows.

  1. Downloads Windows 10 Media Creation Tool and used this to download an ISO
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/software-download/windows10

  2. Mount the ISO and run an in place upgrade / repair, while keeping all the users files and applications

  3. Once this has been done and the PC has rebooted back in to Windows 10 you will need to download the "Windows 10 Inbox App" iso form the Microsoft Volume Licensing portal.  Making sure to match the Feature build you upgraded / repaired installed too.

  4. Once its downloaded mount this ISO and take a note of its drive letter (my Drive letter was F)

  5. Run PowerShell Elevated and run the following:

    Add-AppxProvisionedPackage -Online -PackagePath "F:\amd64fre\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.appxbundle" –LicensePath "F:\amd64fre\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe.xml"

This should now install the Windows Store,  once in the store go to "Downloads and Updates" and update the store to its latest version.

Windows Store Applications Crash as soon as they are opened with Exception code: 0xc000027b

Not 100 percent sure what fixed it but I did the following

  1. Give the user local admin (This is needed so you can run PowerShell elevated but remain in the users context space)
  2. Open Powershell Elevated
  3. Type and run "$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest"

    Side note on this, you may get an error about the store is still being accessed, if so kill off the store and rerun it
  4. Type and run wsreset.exe
  5. Type and run "Get-AppxPackage | ForEach-Object { Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register ($_.InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml')}"

    Side note on this command too, you will get errors for the applications that are running,  should be ok not seen any issues is testing so far (23/07/2020)
  6. Reboot
  7. Test and confirm working
  8. Remove Local admin if you had to give it.
