  1. Canceled a game download, but am still missing storage


    Hi everyone, I’m having a bit of a dilemma currently, and I can’t seem to nail down a specific answer or solution to my problem. Earlier tonight, I wanted to download Control: Standard Edition on the Microsoft store, and set it to download to my C drive. Long story short, my internet connection was very spotty, so I winded up canceling said download to try another time. Well, when I went to check my files to make sure that my storage space was back to where it was prior, it wasn’t. I previously had 391gb on my C drive, and am now left with 341gb instead. Is there any clear solutions as to how

    :)

  3. Downloading games

    Hi,



    Install game in Compatibility mode

    I would suggest you to install the game I compatibility mode and check: Follow these steps:




    • Download the driver from the manufacturer’s website.

    • Right-click on the driver setup file and click on
      ‘properties’.

    • Click on the ‘compatibility’ tab and check the box
      ‘Run this program in compatibility mode for’ and select Windows 10 from the drop down menu and proceed with the installation. Once this is done, restart the computer and check if the issue persists


    Hope it helps. Do contact us for further queries. We will be happy to assist.



    Thank you.

    Canceled a game download, but am still missing storage

    Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

    Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?
