    Can't install owned game - Administrator approval required for installation


    I have this game, which I want to install "State of Decay 2 - Juggenaut Editition". When clicking the install button in the store, nothing happens. Not even an error is showing up.In the description it states I require Administrator approval.I'm logged on to my windows 10 on an administrator account, with the latest updates installed. All is looking fine. I've have performed this wsreset I've read about, no changes.This game has worked before on the same machine, so I cannot figure out why the store is not allowing my Owned game to be installed... Seems to me like Microsoft is blocking somethi

    :)

    Hi Dave, thanks for your response.

    Yes you're right that I own the game, my difficulty is with trying to install it.

    If I go to the Library as you suggest and click on "Install" I just get an error that looks like this:

    I'm not sure if this is the same issue or whether I've now progressed to the next bug in the store.

    Hi Aman

    That screenshot indicates you already own that game . . .

    Log into the Store, then go to your Library

    In your library, find that game and you should be able to install that game from there . . .

    Can't install owned game - Administrator approval required for installation

    Administrator approval required for installation

    • Press Windows key + R and type wsreset.
    • Right-click on the wsreset option and select Run as Administrator.
    • Click Yes on the User Account Control prompt and wait while the system is resetting the Store cache.
    • When Windows Store window opens, it means that the cache has been reset. Reopen Windows Store and try to download required files.

    If the simplest way to fix 0x80073d0b error did not work, try to clear Windows Store cache in a more advanced way:

    • Press Windows key + R to open run.
    • Copy and paste the %localappdata%\\Packages\\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState in the run dialogue.
    • Click OK to execute the command.
    • Now find the folder named Cache. Right-click it and select
      Rename.
    • Name the Cache folder as Cache.old.
    • If you can’t find the Cache folder, create it. Right-click on an empty space and select
      New -> Folder.
    • Name it Cache and close File Explorer.
    • Now press Windows key + I and open Updates & Security.
    • Select Troubleshoot from the left pane and find the
      Windows Store App.
    • Click it and run a scan.
