Reinstall Microsoft Store on Windows 10

This is really just a note to self for future reference. I had uninstalled Microsoft Store very completely on my Win10 laptop, but then wanted it back. None of the solutions I found online worked out of the box. Finally, here is what worked (a variant of something I found online):
  1. Go to https://store.rg-adguard.net/
  2. Enter in the URL: https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9WZDNCRFJBMP and click on the checkmark
  3. Download the latest WindowsStore*.AppxBundle and WindowsStore*.BlockMap files
  4. Start powershell in admin mode
  5. cd [your download directory]
  6. get-item *WindowsStore*.appx* | Add-AppxPackage
