How to install Microsoft Store?

I followed A. User’s comment and followed it without troubles to the point where I had to install a fresh copy of of the Windows 10 app store. I tried to follow all 4 methods, but «Microsoft Store» was not on the list in the App & Features settings tab, for Method 2, «Microsoft Store» was not in the administrator PowerShell » Get-Appxpackage –Allusers», Method 3 did not work, and Method was not really an option for me.

What do I do? I need to use the Microsoft Store, but I could not seem to be able to re-install it. Nvidia GeForce Experience says that I need to install Nvidia Control Panel via the Microsoft Store, but I don’t have the store. All the apps and that I installed via the store seem to be missing.

Update: Fixed by resetting Windows entirely.

5. Re-Register the Store

#1 MS DOWNLOADABLE WIN 10 STORE APP TROUBLE SHOOTER

Click Windows Store Apps

Run it 2 or 3 times.

#3 MANUAL RESET WINDOWS UPDATES
the problems remain, you have to revert to a manual process to reset Windows Update

https://www.pcworld.com/article/2955023/windows.
https://www.tekrevue.com/how-to-enable-system-r.

Create a System restore point. (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/402753. )
Use the following process to effectively delete the folders used by Windows Update:
#1 Start a command prompt in Administrator Mode:
In start menu search for CMD
Right click on it
Select “Run as Administrator”
#2: Stop various Windows Update Service, Cryptographic, Background Intelligent Transfer Service, and MSI Installer Windows services.
To do this, disconnect from the Internet. That means turning off Wi-Fi and disconnecting from a wired connection. If you don’t, Windows 10 will indicate some files are in use and cannot be modified or the command will be non-responsive. Restart your computer after disconnecting from the Internet.

Then type the following commands at a command prompt. Press the “ENTER” key after you type each command.
net stop wuauserv
net stop cryptSvc
net stop bits
net stop msiserver

#3 Rename the folders used by Windows Update:

Reconnect to the internet

#4 Restart the services:
net start wuauserv
net start cryptSvc
net start bits
net start msiserver

#5 Restart the computer:
Reboot the computer
open Windows Update
click Check for updates.

RESET ALL STORE APPS / REREGISTER / APPS MISSING FROM WIN START MENU
Re-register all store apps, so they appear again in start menu. For that, open a PowerShell window as Administrator. Copy and paste the following line into the PowerShell window and press Enter:

Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach

Note: if you re-register all applications, all your apps are back, however all your pinned apps will be reset (the right panel will be empty) so you need to re-pin everything that you want. Personnaly I did a screen capture before, to remember what I pinned and where (use the “snipping tool” in startmenu/windows accessories, with a delay to be able to open the start menu before the capture)

How to install apps on a separate drive on Windows 10

It doesn’t matter if it’s a Windows Store or traditional desktop (Win32) app, they all end up installed (by default) on your primary computer’s hard drive. Although this makes sense in most cases, there are many reasons you may want to install apps on a separate drive.

It could happen that you have a low-end device, such as a tablet or laptop, that came with a very limited local storage and you’re running out of space. If you need to run demanding applications, you may want to install them on a faster hard drive to improve performance. Or it could be that you just want to keep your apps separate from the Windows 10 installation drive.

Whatever the reason it might be, Windows 10 includes a number of ways to help you install apps on an external hard drive or SD card storage, whether you’re dealing with Windows Store or Win32 apps.

In this Windows 10 guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to install traditional desktop and Store apps into a separate drive, and you’ll also get the steps to move already installed apps to another location that being for speed or to save space on your primary drive.

How to install Windows Store apps on a separate drive

When your computer is running out of space, you want to use a faster drive, or you just want to keep apps in a separate location, do the following:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on Storage.

Under «Save locations,» and on «New apps will save to,» select the new drive location.

Once you completed the steps, new apps you download from the Windows Store will now install automatically in the new location.

Moving Windows Store apps to another drive

If you already have Windows Store apps installed on your PC, and you don’t want every app from the Store to install in a different location, you can move apps to a separate drive using the following steps:

1. Open Settings.
2. Click on System.
3. Click on Apps & features.
4. Select the app you want.
5. Click the Move button.
6. Select the destination drive from the drop-down menu.

Click the Move button to relocate the app.

The process may take a few seconds depending on the size of the app you’re trying to move. Although Settings lists both Store and desktop apps, you can only move apps from the Windows Store to a different drive.

Alternatively, you can always uninstall the app, use the instructions to change the save location, and reinstall the app in question from the Store.

How to install desktop apps on a separate drive

It’s also possible to install traditional desktop (Win32) applications into a separate drive.

The process may vary per application, but almost always, you’ll find an option to install the app on a separate hard drive.

For example, installing Apple’s iTunes on Windows 10, after initializing the setup, in the installation options screen, there is a «Destination Folder» section with a Change button that allows you to choose a separate drive to store the installation.

It’s a pretty straightforward process, but then you’ll come across desktop applications that make it a bit unclear where to find this option.

In the case of Firefox, when you launch the setup, you need to click the Options button, and under «Destination Folder,» click the Browse button to select a secondary drive to store your installation files.

Unlike Windows Store apps, you can’t move traditional desktop (Win32) apps to another drive, but you can, alternatively, uninstall the app, and reinstall it changing the Destination Folder option during the setup.

Wrapping things up

It should be noted that you can’t just remove the drive and move it to another computer hoping that apps will run. It doesn’t work that way. If you configure a secondary hard drive to install applications, that storage is pretty much tied to the device you used to install the app.

For traditional desktop applications, this will be a manual process. You may be able to find Registry hacks, but it’s not recommended as it can cause an unknown number of errors.

While there are many good reasons to install apps on a separate drive, you must consider that adding more drives also adds more points of failures to your device.
