In cmd type: services.msc in msc scroll to:Network Store service,double click,set to: Auto start exit,scroll thru the rest,any service with Disabled,should at least be set to: Manual start this gives the OS ability to run the service

Navigate to Settings app > Apps > Apps & features.

Locate Microsoft Store entry and click on it to reveal Advanced options link. Click Advanced options link.

In the Reset section, click the Reset button. 

Via Command Prompt:

Open PowerShell with admin rights.

In the PowerShell prompt, type the following command and press Enter key.

Get-Appxpackage –Allusers

Scroll down and locate the entry of the Store app and copy the package name. If you want to reinstall any other app, locate its entry and copy its PackageFullName.

After selecting the PackageFullName, use Ctrl + C to copy. You won’t be able to right-click and copy.

 Finally, execute the following command:

Add-AppxPackage -register “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\PackageFullName>” –DisableDevelopmentMode

In the above command, replace PackageFullName with the package name of the Windows Store or any other app that you copied in Step 3 and replace “C” with the drive letter of the driver where Windows 10 is installed.

If the above fails create a new user account.

Hello,

If the package is completely removed, you can perform repair upgrade which may restore the package, and also Store app:

If you have completely deleted Microsoft.WindowsStore_11905.1001.4.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe from WindowsApps folder, thing will be a little difficult.

You need to use a clean installation image to repair upgrade. Or find a same system computer and copy Microsoft.WindowsStore_11905.1001.4.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe to this computer, then re-register Store app.

Besides, you need to reset this PC.

1903 iso can be downloaded from Microsoft website, if your system is other version, you need corresponding iso or download from third-party channel.
