    Have you tried right-click Desktop - New - Shortcut:
    cmd.exe /c start ms-windows-store:
    Such lnk should be pin-able anywhere..

    The explorer shortcut works as well:
    explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App
     
    Stop hovering to collapse... Click to collapse... Hover to expand... Click to expand...

    It works! :)
    But how to replace the icon? Where is the Store icon located?

    Just pick another icon from explorer then.

    Apps don't use classic shortcuts, don't come with classic icons but use png file resources.
    But the Explorer one resembling a store works good enough :)

    I dont really know what AV means, but i guess you're either asking about the Windows Edition & Version or you suggest me to turn my Anti Virus off while doing it ?
    WIndows edition: Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC

    I paused the antivirus protection ( if relevant i use : Eset nod 32 Antivirus 12 ) but it's still not working !
    Also, In the meantime i tried to install the Microsoft store on the other laptop i have ( with the same windows version and the same antivirus ) and it worked.
    Do you have any suggestion ?

    Hi guys, I'm back and I actually solved the problem !
    Therefore if you are experiencing the same problem as i was... ( Script just opens and closes when ran in admin mode and if it's not ran in admin mode, it opens but says Error: Must be ran in Admin Mode ) you will just need to run it as an administrator from a folder which is not backed up by One Drive. It seems that was causing the program to not run.

    So basically, just extract & run the files from D partition... and it will work !

    I found this solution on this thread - https:// github.com/kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore/issues/5 ( i will just leave it here as a tribute ).

    I hope this will help others too ! Thank you for trying to help and have a nice evening ! :)
