Question 'All' pre-installed apps missing

[PowerUp_]

A while ago I used PowerShell to uninstall loads of bloatware from my laptop and in my haste I seem to have uninstalled pretty much everything.
I first noticed that the camera wasn't being detected, I searched for it under apps and get the error "you'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store link";

I tried using the command "Get-AppxPackage -allusers" to find the windows store and reinstall it but its not listed.
I also tried following the steps from: https://www.thewindowsclub.com/windows-store-app-missing-windows-10/ ; but I get stuck at step 3 since ".\reinstall-preinstalledApps.ps1 Microsoft.WindowsStore" isn't recognised "as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file or operable program".
Lastly, when I go to Apps & Features there are only 4 apps installed; HP Smart, Hp Support Solutions Framework, Microsoft Edge and Microsoft OneDrive.

Any clarity or solutions would be great!

You should be able to download the missing pre-installed utilities and apps from the appropriate HP Support website --- they'll usually be on the same page as the drivers for your specific laptop model.

Alternatively you could run factory restore which will put everything back as it was when you bought it.

Thanks for the tip Phillip, I'm currently looking to download the pre-installed utilities and apps from HP. However, I have already factory reset the laptop and it's still not fixed?

A suggested fix is
right click start button
choose powershell (admin)
type SFC /scannow and press enter
once its completed, copy/paste this command into same window:
Repair-WindowsImage -Online -RestoreHealth
and press enter
SFC fixes system files, second command cleans image files, re run SFC if it failed to fix all files and restart PC

which version of win 10 are you on?
A repair install might fix it if you on 1909

Unfortunately "SFC/scannow" thros an error. " The term 'SFC/scannow' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program..."
What does this mean?

can you right click start
choose run...
type winver and press enter

what version of win 10 are you on?
current is 1909
That error means um, you removed too much

So it says Version 1909?
I've factory reset it though? Does that not mean it should be back to how it was sold?

Did you use the same user name/password? Its possible your settings were synced with a cloud profile and it will have a list of previously uninstalled apps so they aren't reinstalled again.
Try making a local account and see if it has same problems - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au...-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account

Otherwise, try doing this - https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/16397-repair-install-windows-10-place-upgrade.html

So I created another profile and went through the set-up process, but once logged in the windows store, camera app, etc still isn't showing.
I've just finished the fresh windows 10 ISO file install. Neither has worked (if I've done it correctly), so is there anything else I can try?
