Reinstalling Windows Apps

I accidentally erased a bunch of my windows apps, need some them back, like the windows store, calculator, photos, etc. I was using windows power shell to uninstall a few of them like the xbox and skype.  apparently I found a command that got rid of almost all of them. Any suggestions? Thanks
Reinstall all Windows Store apps:

Open Start, type: powershell
Right click PowerShell
Click Run as administrator

Type the following command then hit Enter, exit PowerShell then restart, then try updating through the Store again.

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

If that does not work, perform a repair upgrade:
