Where is the executable file of Windows Store application?

Is there any EXE file, associated with Windows Store?

This is the store exe: C:\Windows\WinStore\WSHost.exe

No there is not. They are .appx files, which are really just zip files. However inside the .appx there is no exe either.

I just had a quick look in the windows directory - C:\Windows\WinStore exists and there is an exe in there, but I am fairly sure the store is an appx style program, which shouldn't have an exe associated with it.

For me it's here:

C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_2015.25.24.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\WinStore.Mobile.exe

Of course there is a process for this app... It's called WinStore.App.Exe

In case it's open and you wanna close it, all you have to do is: taskkill -f -im WinStore.App.Exe
