    I was trying to redownload sea of thieves when Microsoft store greyed out the install button or it got stuck on starting download. It also can't be my download or upload speeds because my download and upload speeds are around 300mbps. I then assumed updating my pc which is prebuilt btw would solve the issue. I went to the windows update page to find that it would not display the next update. After some quick research I found that my BITS service and Windows Update service both failed to start on boot. They have not started on boot in my knowledge since I discovered this. I have been through

  2. Unable to reinstall Sea of Thieves after uninstalling

    Hi guys, I have a problem. Sea of Thieves started crashing on me, so after going through the usual routine (updating Windows & my graphics drivers, resetting Microsoft Store, uninstalling and reinstalling the store, etc.) with no success, I finally uninstalled
    it, thinking that something had become corrupted. However, when I go to reinstall Sea of Thieves, the Install button does nothing when I press it. No error message, no indication of a download, no nothing. The button doesn't even turn gray when clicked.
    It's like the button's completely dead.

    Funny thing is that I tried downloading Roblox, a free game I hadn't had on here before just to test it, and the Install button worked fine, so I cancelled the installation. But when I went back to install it again, that too had stopped working. So it's
    literally something with either Microsoft Store or my computer that's stopping me, maybe some leftover files, maybe some sort of DRM in the games, I don't know. But SOMETHING is physically preventing me from reinstalling the game. Can someone help? I've
    already tried all the results listed here, as well as deleting everything related to Sea of Thieves and Roblox from the
    registry, and I'm now about to try looking for leftover files.

  3. Unable to Install Sea Of Thieves on Solid State Drive

    I had Sea of Thieves installed on my harddrive, but the load times were slow so I wanted to switch it to my solid state drive. I took the following steps.

    • Uninstalled Sea of Thieves
    • Navigated to the microsoft store and selected install
    • Selected C: drive (which is my ssd) as the install location
    • After completing the download I get the error: "Couldn't install. We'll retry shortly".
    I've attempted this twice with no luck. It's a large download so it takes a long time to retry, I'm hoping for an easy resolution to get this installed on my C: drive.

    Thank you,

    Josh
