Windows 10 Unable to install Apps From Microsoft Store

[Akash Chhabra]

Recently I ran a windows debloater script which uninstalled many windows default apps, but with this, it also uninstalled "Microsoft.UI.Xaml.2.5".

I am unable to install msix bundles by simply clicking on them.


Microsoft Store is also broken. I tried a lot of methods but unable to recover the Microsoft store like using

Get-AppXPackage WindowsStore -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

I am no longer able to install UWP apps.

I tried using administrative Powershell to execute:

Add-AppxPackage ./<msix bundle>


And Got The Error

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF3, Package failed updates, dependency or conflict
