I’m using Ubuntu 24.04 and accidentally disabled the snap-store. It’s gone and I have an icon for Ubuntu Software, but it doesn’t do anything. I tried the refresh options above, and get a message that I can’t refresh a disabled snap-store. “Enable” doesn’t work. How do I get the snap-store back?
I created a new topic, please do not reuse old topics for a new support request.
I would have, but didn’t see an option for a new question. It’s been a long while since I visited. The site has changed and I’m not that familiar with it any more. Sorry.
What does this show?
snap list --all | grep snap-store
It shows:
snap-store 41.3-72-g80e7130 1216 latest/stable/…
canonical** disabled
Try this:
Remove the disabled snap-store
sudo snap remove snap-store
Reinstall it (will automatically install the latest stable version)
sudo snap install snap-store
You should now be able to access it normally again.
Let us know.
You had never visited before, at least from this profile, which is new in this site. On the other hand, the “New topic” button is visible on the upper top left of the main page.
Terminal command:-
sudo snap enable snap-store
If enable doesn’t work for you, any error messages?

I had to delete the snap-store directory first, but this worked. Thanks very much for your help.
