Cannot Reinstall Windows Store - Not found by Get-AppxPackage

Question

_{Wednesday, January 17, 2018 9:46 PM}

I have a Windows 10 1709 system where I removed the Windows Store application.  Now I want it back, but I cannot re-install it.  Normally, I would use Get-AppxPackage to get the InstallLocation for Microsoft.WindowsStore and use that information with Add-AppxPackage, but Get-AppxPackage doesn't return an application with the name Microsoft.WindowsStore.

How do I get the store back?
