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
The explorer shortcut works as well: explorer.exe shell:appsFolder\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App 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
yep Searched here: C:\Windows\System32\shell32.dll; C:\Windows\System32\imageres.dll; C:\Windows\System32\ddores.dll C:\Windows\SystemResources\imageres.dll.mun Nothing.
find here: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_11911.1001.8.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\Assets\AppTiles edit .png to .ico:
Hi guys, do you have any idea why the add-store.cmd wont open when i run it as an administrator ? If I just open it by double clicking on it... it says " run the script as an administrator " ... and if i run it as an administrator it wont open ! How can i solve this ?
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 Version: 1809 OS Build: 17763
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 !
