Windows 10: Cannot reinstall 'Among us' game

My son bought the 'Among us' game from the Microsoft Store and it worked fine, but there was some sort of issue that he thought reinstalling the game would solve, so he uninstalled it, but now he cannot download the game. When he tries, the download operation hangs for a few seconds and returns an unexpected error message details show Code: 0x80072F8F. I followed suggestions from a number of related posts installed the latest updates, rebooted, verified the date/time settings, cleared Microsoft Store cache, reset Microsoft Store, deleted the game folders, but nothing worked. Anything else we can try?

I can't reinstall my previously installed games!!!

Hi Fahd,

It appears that you're having an issue installing your previous games after reinstalling Windows 10. We would like to know if it is only happening when you're installing your games or is it also happening when you're installing an app from Microsoft Store.

Meanwhile, we suggest clearing Windows Store's cache by performing these steps:

• Press Windows key + R.
• Type wsreset.exe then hit Enter.
• Restart your computer.

Keep us in the loop with the result.

 

Reinstalling a XBox game purchased for Win 10 PC

Hi,

Upon redeeming a game code, the license of that game will be stored to the Microsoft account used in redeeming the code. To reinstall the game, you'll need to sign in to the Store app using the Microsoft account that owns the game license. To do so, kindly
perform the following steps:

• Launch the Store app.
• Select the profile icon.
  
  

• Select My Library.

• Locate your game in the list of available downloads, and then select the download icon to the right. Once your game has been reinstalled, it will be available in the list of apps.

Don't forget to let us know how it turns out. We'd be glad to further assist you.
