Windows Store App missing in fresh Windows 10 install

[lkc_Kris]

After a fresh install of Windows 10 on my laptop, all my stock microsoft apps are gone, such as the photo viewer, video player etc. What's worse, is that my Windows Store app is missing too, so i can't reinstall those apps.

I tired going online to find help, and i stumbled upon this method. I did everything it told me to do, such as

Get-Appxpackage -Allusers

to see my apps, other people will find Microsoft.WindowsStore... in there, but i only got Cortana, immersivecontrolpanel, accountcontrol etc. but not Windows Store.

I then tried copying my windows store files from

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps

from my desktop and putting it into the same dir on my laptop, then retried it and failed too.

I also tried the method given by microsoft but didn't work.

I tried this method too, but didn't work.

Any help would be appreciated.

p.s Sorry for english, from hong kong.

From where did you get your installation media (the ISO file) for the fresh Windows 10 install?

You can get Win 10 directly from Microsoft. OEMs, like HP and Dell, can also provide for their systems.

If you get from any other source, it is questionable and very well could be the problem you are dealing with.

You need a legit license. Otherwise, we can't help.

Purchase a license and install from a legit source and you should be good to go. Seriously, that is the "fix".
