Microsoft store is missing

[ubuysa]

Surely though MS should understand though that people buy PC's with OEM licenses and just want to use the MS account they used on their previous machines, surely that shouldn't be that uncommon nor does it seem unreasonable, so yeah maybe something has gone a bit iffy somewhere

I'm guessing really. I know the Store is fussy about the activation status and this is the only explanation I can come up with.

It under Windows Accesories.

Yeah, it doesn't appear on my computer. There's Windows Accessories alright, with Notepad and Paint, etc. But no Calculator app in that list and it doesn't appear anywhere else on the PC (that I can find).

EDIT: I may also have to ring up Microsoft, see if there's a way to fix things or reset the store without having to do a clean OS reinstall.

C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe

C:\Windows\System32\Calc.exe

Hey wow, it is there! Calc.exe indeed.

I can't open it though. I get the error message "You'll need a new app to open this ms-calculator link" when I try to run it.

There's a problem with your Windows system then. I would reinstall.

I had the same issues, pretty sure Windows did not install correctly.

Had to save windows ISO to my pc and re install windows via that to get the store and all the other Microsoft apps to finally appear on the system. Has been working fine since then so far
