Fixing_Microsoft_Store_on_Win10.txt
My Windows 10 VM had a broken Microsoft Store link in the Start menu. The link was renamed to ms-resource:StoreTitle
instead of Microsoft Store.
I found the following reddit post that fixed the icon.
https://www.reddit.com/r/Windows10/comments/82h48u/announcing_windows_10_insider_preview_build_17115/
Summary is as follows:
Open a powershell console as admin user. Run the commands:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | sls Microsoft.WindowsStore
Add-AppxPackage -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.23.0_x
64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
Here is sample output (notice I picked the package with the highest version (23.0):
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers | sls Microsoft.WindowsStore
Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.18.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.20.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.23.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe
PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Add-AppxPackage -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11712.1001.23.0_x
64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode
