Windows 10 missing sticky notes and microsoft store problem

After installing Windows 10 I realized that the Microsoft Store was missing also the sticky note app was not there either...

The solution came from power-shell.
I guess Microsoft has adopted linux-like approach in getting updates and missing packages.

So here what I did:

 1. Enter Windows Power-Shell (as Admin)
 2. Get-Appxpackage -Allusers > res.txt
 3. Add-AppxPackage -register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\[packageFullName]\AppxManifest.xml" -DisableDevelopmentMode

Here the res.txt file is needed to find missing package's full name.

[Microsoft.MicrosoftStickyNotes]
[Microsoft.WindowsStore]

We use that name to download and install the package (step 3).
