How to reinstall all the Windows 10 default apps with PowerShell

Re-install all the default applications from Windows 10, including the
Microsoft Store. Although, note that everything we show is tested and
confirmed to work only in the latest version of Windows 10 with the April
2018 Update.

If you have an older version of Windows 10, you can follow the steps we show
forgetting the built-in applications back, but you mightn’t be able to also
re-install the Microsoft Store. 

The only proven way to get the Microsoft Store back in older versions of
Windows 10, & then be able to install other apps, is to do a clean
Windows 10 installation.

First up, you want to open PowerShell with administrative. The quickest way to do that is to use Cortana’s search bar from the taskbar. Type
“PowerShell,” right-click (or tap & hold) on the Windows PowerShell
result and then click or tap on “Run as administrator.”

PowerShell in Windows (including as admin). Once PowerShell is launched, you
brought to see a window almost like this one: Windows 10, PowerShell,
reinstall apps

To reinstall all the Windows 10 built-in applications which you uninstalled
overtime, all you’ve got to try to do is run a selected command. 

Type or copy-paste the subsequent command inside the PowerShell:

Get-AppxPackage -allusers | foreach {Add-AppxPackage -register "$($_.InstallLocation)appxmanifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode}

After you have entered the above command in Powershell, & Press Enter.

Starts reinstalling & re-registering all its default built-in apps. Note
that this step might take a short time, counting on the speed of your
Windows 10.

Once the command has finished running, PowerShell displays the present folder path. There are no messages or additional confirmations displayed.
Close & reboot your Windows 10 or device. When you log in, you ought to
find all of your missing Windows 10 default applications available.

What if some of your restored apps still don’t work well?

In case your Windows 10 built-in applications are reinstalled but still
don’t work correctly, there is one more thing you should try before losing
hope: run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.

You can find it in the Settings app, the Update & Security –
Troubleshoot section.

Click or tap on Windows Store Applications & follow the steps of the
troubleshooting wizard.

If it finds anything that could affect the way the universal applications run on your Windows computer, it makes the necessary repairs. When that process is done, it should ask you to reboot the Windows 10 computer or device.

Windows 10, PowerShell, reinstall apps

Reboot & check to see whether your applications are working correctly.
If they still don’t, we are sorry, but the best thing you can do is to reset or reinstall Windows 10. If you need help with that, you might like this
