I have really hard time with the windows with Microsoft Store disabled.
I'm missing basic ingredients, like Ubuntu, winget and HEVC codec. I've search far and wide how to re-enable Microsoft Store with little success.
Any help, anyone?
Unfortunately I don't believe Microsoft support the Microsoft Store in Windows Server of any flavour today, this is not a limitation on the Google side. Winget also is not supported, although it may be possible to install it on Windows Server 2022 but it is regarded as experimental, see: https://github.com/microsoft/winget-cli#installing-the-client
Hope that helps.
I would be happy with a vanilla windows-10 image, too.
