Add Windows Store to Windows 11 24H2 LTSC
The LTSC variant of Windows 11 24H2 does not include the Microsoft Store app by default. If you need to use it, you'll have to install the app manually, as Microsoft does not provide a straightforward installation method. The process is similar to customizing a Windows 11 Enterprise system, as outlined in the article "Add languages to a Windows 11 Enterprise image". However, since Microsoft's installation includes a lot of additional apps, this guide provides the minimal components required to get the Microsoft Store app working with your Windows 11 24H2 LTSC installation.
Note
to install required components:
- Microsoft Store
requires: VCLibs, NET.Native.Framework, NET.Native.Runtime, UI.Xaml - Store Purchase App
requires: VCLibs, NET.Native.Framework, NET.Native.Runtime, UI.Xaml - Desktop App Installer
requires: VCLibs, UI.Xaml
Run Add-Store.cmd as Administrator
Important
Ensure you have administrative privileges when executing this file to allow for proper installation.
Tip
If you do not require certain features such as Desktop App Installer or Purchase App, you can delete their corresponding .appxbundle / .msixbundle files before running the installation. See below list of optional InboxApps.
-
If the Microsoft Store is not functioning correctly after installation, first try rebooting your system.
-
If the issue persists, open the Command Prompt as an administrator and run the following command:
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"After running the command, reboot your system again.
- right click start
- select
Run - type in:
WSReset.exe
Note
This will clear the cache if needed.
After installing the Store App from this package, you can simply double klick to install each of the remaining packages as needed (after extracting the content per .ZIP archive).
