I recently did a clean installation of Windows 10 on my laptop, but for some reason, the Microsoft Store didn't install. I tried to use an installer I found online, but it threw an error saying, "you need an app from the Microsoft Store to run this program." I'm stuck and not sure what to do next. Could you help me figure this out?

Did you happen to install Windows 10 LTSC? That's the only version I know where the Store wouldn't be included. If not, then I’m not sure why it’s missing!
Did you use the official Windows ISO for the installation or was it a tweaked version? If it's a clean reinstall, it might just be easier to go through the installation process again. Normally, the Store shouldn't be missing unless you used a modified image.
I used the official ISO, so not sure what happened!
You can try to reinstall the Microsoft Store using a PowerShell command. It might help get things back to normal!
I found the command and tried to run it, but I got this error: 'Get-AppxPackage: The 'Get-AppxPackage' command was found in the module 'Appx', but the module could not be loaded due to the following error: [Operation is not supported on this platform. (0x80131539)]'. What does that mean?
Nope, I installed Windows Home Basic. I'm really puzzled about this—it's the only issue I've faced!
