How to Install New Microsoft Store for Windows 11
Here’s how to install the new Microsoft Store for Windows 11 if your preview setup doesn’t include the updated app. Alongside Windows 11, on June 24, 2021, Microsoft announced a brand-new marketplace. Apart from fresh and significantly better design and Android apps support, the new Microsoft Store brings tons of new policies for developers that make publishing and maintaining apps much easier. Developers can use their own content delivery network and payment systems without sharing fees with Microsoft. Also, Microsoft Store now accepts virtually any app.
Although the new Microsoft Store is far from public release (Microsoft plans to ship it later this year on both Windows 11 and Windows 10,) popular developers are already publishing their apps. Zoom, Adobe Creative Cloud, OBS, and other well-known apps show up in Microsoft Store.

If you are running Windows 11 Preview on your computer or a virtual machine, you may want to test the new Microsoft Store as well. The thing is that it does not come out-of-box with Windows 11. Here is how to get the new Microsoft Store app in Windows 11.
Microsoft Store gets updates through Microsoft Store. That means you need to begin with checking for app updates.
How to get the new Microsoft Store app on Windows 11 (preview)
Did you install the first preview build of Windows 11, but the new Microsoft Store experience is missing? Here’s is a quick way to get it.

Microsoft recently released the first public preview of Windows 11 (build 22000.51) for developers and enthusiasts, and with it, the company shipped a lot of new features and improvements, including a new Start menu and an updated taskbar that now both have a centered alignment, the next evolution of Action Center, an updated version of File Explorer, and a newly redesigned app for the Microsoft Store.
However, it seems that there has been some confusion among participants of the Windows Insider Program regarding the new Store because some users have been reporting that after installing the Windows 11 build 22000.51, the preview of the new app is nowhere to be found.
If you came across this problem, this is not Microsoft limiting who can access the first preview of the Store. The confusion here is that this preview of Windows does not come with the app pre-installed. You actually need to get it manually using the legacy version of the Store if the app wasn’t already updated automatically.
In this Windows 11 guide, we will walk you through the steps to force-install the new Microsoft Store app in the first or future Insider builds of the new OS.
How to install the first preview of the Microsoft Store
To get the preview of the new Microsoft Store app on Windows 11, use these steps:
- Open the classic Microsoft Store.
- Click the See more (three-dotted) button and select the Downloads and updates option.
- Click the Get updates button.
Once you complete the steps, the system will check all apps for updates, including the Microsoft Store. During this process, the Store app will close automatically, and the next time you open it, you should be able to see the new experience.
Enable automatic Store updates
To make sure that future updates download automatically as soon as they are ready, configure the Microsoft Store to update apps automatically.
To change the update settings for the new Microsoft Store, use these steps:
- Open the classic Microsoft Store.
- Click the profile menu and select the App settings option.
- Turn on the App updates toggle switch.
After you complete the steps, apps and future revisions of the new Microsoft Store app should install automatically.
If it’s the case that a new feature comes out for the Store, and you do not see it, then repeat the steps mentioned earlier. Also, you can check the version on the «Apps settings» page to make sure the latest version is installed.

How to Install (or Reinstall) Microsoft Store in Windows 10/11
In this guide, we will show you the steps to install the Microsoft Store on your Windows 10/11 PC. While there exist a plethora of sources from where you could get hold of your preferred Windows apps, games, and software, yet many users are usually inclined towards the offering from Microsoft. There are two major reasons for the same- first off, you will be able to find most of the games and apps under one roof, no need to tinker around various third-party sites.
Secondly, the apps that you would be downloading would be legitimate, genuine, and more often than not from a verified publisher. Then in the latest iteration of the OS, the Store has undergone a massive UI revamp as well. So this might be another for some of you to make a switch. Granted the Store does go through its fair share of issues. These include the likes of the inability to download and install apps, or getting bugged with a plethora of error codes.
Well, in some instances, the Store just refuses to start up in the first place. In this regard, we have already covered a comprehensive guide on how you could fix all the issues related to Microsoft Store. In that guide, the last fix calls for the re-installing of the Store. Or, in other words, you will first have to uninstall it by executing a few commands in the PowerShell window and then again execute a command to install its latest build.

How to Install/Re-Install Microsoft Store in Windows 10/11

The below instructions are listed keeping in mind that you are planning to re-install Microsoft Store, so you need to start from the first step itself. However, if this is the first time you are installing this app (which isn’t usually the case as Microsft always ships this app with the OS), then you may skip the first and second steps and just carry out the third and fourth steps.
STEP 1: Find Microsoft Store Package Name
First off, you will have to get hold of Microsoft Store’s package name. This is because the PowerShell commands wouldn’t understand the general app name, rather it requires the apos’ package name. So proceed ahead with the below steps:
- To begin with, head over to the Start Menu, search PowerShell, and launch it as an administrator.
- Then type in the below command in the PowerShell window and hit Enter. .
STEP 2: Remove the Data of Old Microsoft Store App
Next up, we will be deleting the leftover data from the previous build of Microsoft Store. If we don’t do so, then the data of the old version of the Store might conflict with the newer version. And in all this. the Store app would be the ultimate sufferer. So follow along for the steps to completely remove the Microsoft Store from your PC:
- To begin with, head over to the Start Menu, search PowerShell, and launch it as an administrator.
- Nw type in the below command in the PowerShell window to remove the data of the Store:
The above command should now have removed all the leftover files of the Store. So you may now proceed ahead to install/reinstall the Microsoft Store on your Windows 10/11 PC.
STEP 3: Install/Reinstall Microsoft Store
Now just copy-paste the below command in the Powershell window that you have opened as an administrator:

Once the above command has been executed, restart your PC. Once it boots up, do not access the Store app now, rather straightaway move over to the next step.
STEP 4: Restart Microsoft Store Install Service
The final step requires you to restart the Microsoft Store Install Service. Here’s how it could be done:
- To begin with, use the Windows+R shortcut keys to launch the Run dialog box.
- Then type in services.msc and hit Enter. It shall open the Services page.

- Now scroll to the Microsoft Store Install Service and double click on it.

- Then change its Startup Type to Automatic.

- After that, click on the Stop button, wait for a few seconds, and then click on the Start button.

- That’s it, the Microsoft Store Install Service has now been restarted and the underlying issue would have been fixed as well.
NOTE: After restarting the service, I had to once again execute the Store’s Install command given in STEP 3 in order to make the Store run properly. So to be on the safer side, I would recommend you to once again execute that command, which we have listed below as well:
Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach
