  1. Cant cancel a download in microsoft store and xbox app


    So i decided to download ark using the xbox app. it download 130mb then stopped, so i decided to cancel it, but it never does. I tried everything, i tried to pause and it says pausing but then continues to say downloading but never downloads. I deleted both the xbox app and the store app, i reset the store app. Tried everything except reseting the pc because i really dont want to have to do that. The game still pops up after all that and never downloads anything.

    :)

  3. Xbox Insider Hub does not appear in the Microsoft Store

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Community.

    1. Did you make any changes to the PC prior to this issue?
    2. Have you signed in using the Microsoft account?
    3. Are you able to search for other apps on the Microsoft Store?

    However, you may follow these steps to check if that helps.

    Step 1: Suggest you to run the apps troubleshooter to
    fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
    .

    Step 2: You can also try to manually
    download the Xbox Insider Hub
    from the link.

    Article for Reference.

    Get the Xbox Insider Hub app

    Hope this helps.

    Cant cancel a download in microsoft store and xbox app

    The Microsoft Store, and the Xbox app doesn't work!

    Hi,



    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



    I understand that you are unable to launch Microsoft Store, Xbox app and GameBar. I’ll certainly help you with this issue.



    However, please let us know:



    • Do you receive any error message?
    • Are you aware of any changes made to the computer recently?
    • Which build version of Windows 10 are you using currently? To check type:
      winver in the search bar on the Taskbar and hit
      Enter.


    Meanwhile, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned below:



    For issues with launching Microsoft Store, I would suggest you to refer the steps mentioned in the article

    Microsoft Store doesn't launch
    .



    Method 1: Store app troubleshooter



    I would suggest you to run the Store app troubleshooter and check. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + I, to open Settings.
    2. Click on Update & Security and select Troubleshoot from the left pane.
    3. Scroll down, click on Windows Store apps and select Run the troubleshooter.
    4. Follow the on-screen instructions.


    Method 2: Re-register apps



    If Store app troubleshooter doesn’t work, I would suggest you to try re-registering the apps using PowerShell. Refer the steps mentioned below:



    1. Press Windows Logo key + X, and select
      Windows PowerShell (Admin).
    2. Paste the following command and press Enter:
      Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
    3. Once the process is complete, restart the computer and check.


    Method 3: New user account



    If re-registering the apps didn’t work, try creating a new user account and check if the issue persists. Refer the article
    Create
    a local user or administrator account in Windows 10




    Let us know the results.
