Although Microsoft has officially released Windows 11, stringent hardware requirements and unstable system components have not stimulated the public to “pay the bill.” On the contrary, many users are more willing to choose the Windows 10 system with low hardware requirements and better stability. Recently, Microsoft released the latest version of Windows 10 LTSC 2021 long-term service version.
In addition to occupying a smaller space, the entire system is more streamlined and smoother than the standard version. However, like the previous version of LTSC, Microsoft also did not add app store functions to this version. Today’s article will teach you how to add Microsoft Store components to Windows 10 LTSC 2021 version.
To install the Microsoft Store, we need to first download a piece of software called LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore.
- LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore: https://github.com/kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore/releases/tag/2019
Open the URL and click Source code (zip) to complete the download. It should be noted that although the 2019 version is still marked on the page, the actual measurement is still valid for the LTSC 2021 version.
After the download is complete, you will get a compressed package. After decompression, it will have a folder structure similar to the following figure. Right-click the first item Add-Store.cmd and select “Run as administrator” to start the installation process.
The entire installation will take a certain amount of time. You will see a small black box on the screen with a progress bar popping up from time to time. In short, the whole process does not need our participation. Just watch it quietly and drink tea patiently.

After the installation is over, the words Press any Key to Exit will be displayed. At this time, click any key to exit the black box, and then restart the computer. If you can find the newly added “Microsoft Store” in the start menu, it means the installation is successful (if not, repeat the above steps again). It should be noted here that the currently installed store version is still relatively low and must be upgraded before it can be used.
The method to upgrade the store is as follows: first start the Microsoft Store, open the “…” in the upper right corner, and then click the blue “Get Update” button. Under normal circumstances, the Microsoft Store will automatically complete its download and installation. After launching the Microsoft Store again, you can search and download happily.
Write at the end
Compared with the previous generation version, LTSC 2021 version is developed based on Windows 10 21H2. In addition to maintaining high efficiency and stability, it also adds more modern functions. In short, for netizens who don’t like tossing the system, LTSC has always been a version worth upgrading. Well, the above is the skill of manually adding the Microsoft Store to Windows 10 LTSC 2021 version. If you are interested, go and give it a try!
