Redirecting and Reinstating Windows 10/11’S MS Store

You may want to re-register built-in Windows apps if the Microsoft Store apps are not working. In other instances, issues with other Windows elements like Taskbar can be resolved by re-registering the built-in Windows apps.

You can use a PowerShell cmdlet to perform this action. Here we show how you can re-register apps for individual or all accounts on Windows.

How to Re-Register Microsoft Store Apps for Current Users

If theMicrosoft Store app issue exists with a specific user account, you don’t need to re-register the app for all the user accounts on your computer. Instead, you can re-register the app only for the current user account.

To re-register Microsoft Store apps for the current user:

  1. Press theWin key and type “powershell” into the Search bar.
  2. Right-click onWindows PowerShell and selectRun as administrator .
  3. In the PowerShell console, type the following command and pressEnter :
    Get-AppXPackage *Microsoft.WindowsStore* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  4. Wait for the command to execute and complete. You may see a blue loading graphic.
  5. Once done, typeexit and pressEnter to close PowerShell.

During the process, you may see some errors highlighted in red. It is due to PowerShell trying to reinstall existing apps on Windows. So, ignore the error and wait for the process to complete.

If you need to re-register the built-in Windows apps for all users, you’ll need to tweak the above PowerShell cmdlet a little to include the -AllUsers parameter. This would allow the cmdlet to search through all user accounts on the system and install and re-register the Microsoft Store apps.

  1. Open PowerShell as administrator .
  2. In the PowerShell window, type the following command and pressEnter :
    Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers *WindowsStore* | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
  3. This process may take some time to complete depending on the number of apps that require re-registering and reinstalling.
