    Desktop not showing up on device list when trying to install game


    Hi everyone,


    I am trying to install a game on the windows store app called Phantasy Star Online 2. However, my current desktop is not an option for picking the device I want to install to. It only shows my laptop. Desktop not showing up on device list when trying to install game 162c1058-c707-4e45-b0e5-f42a518662c0?upload=true.png


    However, clicking on "Get more info on your device list," I can see my desktop. I'm not certain what the issue here is and how I can fix it so that I can eventually install my game.

    Insurgency wont install and run for me....

    I have played and have fully updated CS and Half life 2....
    I am using the newest client and installed the SDK.

    I am completely blown away, if i click the desktop icon it starts the sdk and then closes, and it doesn't show up in my game list...

    First mod attempt install here, followed the directions step by step on the mods website...

    Any ideas?

  3. Microsoft Store installation list is not showing up, Unable to install game.

    Hello,

    I have a issue with my PC not showing up in Microsoft Store install list, when I want to install a game. The thing that confuses me is that, when I log into Microsoft account and look under devices, I can see my PC and laptop there. But when I want to install
    the game, it only shows the laptop device.

    I have tried many things already.

    • I am logged in with Microsoft account into the PC,
    • I restarted the PC many times,
    • When I run the Microsoft Store troubleshooter it says: "Can't connect to the sync service",
    • I tried this in CMD as admin: Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth, SFC /scannow,
    • my PC has latest updates,
    • all the sync settings are enabled.

    The game I'm trying to install is Forza Motorsport 7, there is a free trial.

    Thanks for the help

    ***Modified Title from: My PC is not showing in the Microsoft Store install list***
