Microsoft has further improved the efficiency of discovering apps and sorting apps. That is to say, the Windows Store has gradually grown into a mature stage after the previous versions have grown. The Windows 8 app store categorizes apps on the home screen with better options, showing a complete list of app categories.

Let's take a look at the failure of the Win8 app store caused by some user misoperations, so that users who have this situation can be easily solved in the first place.

Re-attach the Store to the Start Menu

First of all, there are two possible situations for the elimination of this problem. The first one: relatively simple, because the application under the Metro interface needs the user to fix, and the default state of the Win8 application store is fixed. In this case, the user may cancel the application store from the Metro interface due to misoperation. Fixed, then you can't find it in the start menu; the second case is the situation mentioned by the author, due to system cleanup or optimization software to delete a special shortcut corresponding to the app store.

Combining these two scenarios, we conclude that the two solutions are as follows, first explain how to re-fix the Win8 Store back to the start menu.

First check if there is an app store in the app list, if available, you can pin it to the start screen: press the Windows logo key +Q on your keyboard in the start screen. Right click on the app store and click on Pin to “Start” screen.

Try to find it back through SFC. Click on the desktop app in the start screen, press the Windows logo key +X on your keyboard, and click Run Command Prompt (Administrator).
Run the command prompt (administrator) and enter “sfc /scannow”

As shown above, type sfc /scannow in the command followed by the Enter key.
Wait for SFC detection completed

Wait for the SFC detection to complete, the following message appears: Windows Resource Protection found the corrupted files and successfully fixed them. At this point, you can open the C:\\ProgramData \\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs folder to confirm the existence of the app store shortcut and whether to restore the app store in the start interface.
