how to add MS Store to Windows LTSC. Its really simple, all you have to do is download a small script and the files needed and execute it. I will provide the link to the git so you can check the code yourself if you need. I’ve tested this script personally on several PCs and it always worked fine.
——————-
Step 1
You need to download the store files either from the mega.nz link below or directly from the GitHub link.
It’s better to visit Github in case there is an updated version in the future.
Mega Link (70.5 MB)
or
Since we can’t post direct links, copy-paste the following.
github.com/kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore
——————-
Step 2
After unzipping the file, run Add-Store.cmd as Administrator
and after the installation finishes, you should see the Store Icon on your start menu.
Enjoy your new store.

Step 3 (not always needed)
In case you want to download and install store apps from other sources (torrents for example) you need to go to
Settings/Update and security/Use Developer features (or press windows key and type devel)
and enable the option Sideload apps (similar to Android options) as you see on the screen below.

Troubleshooting
Things don’t always go as we wish so in case you don’t see the Microsoft store do a restart
If that doesn’t solve the problem then run CMD as administrator and issue the following command (copy-paste).
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"Copy all of the red text at once, because it’s one command.
if the above won’t work, then there is no easy cure for it.
Either some other packages/options are missing from windows and I can’t know which ones or there is something wrong with your version of windows.

in the comments below for those who wish to just load an app and not have the App Store
you can use the following site: store.rg-adguard.net (copy-paste) and get a direct link to download for any app from the store web site.
