Windows 10: Game stopped running—and is now not installable from Microsoft Store due to system requirements

Hello,


I have a machine that was running Minecraft for Windows 10 just fine, and then there was an error that we decided to debug by uninstalling and then reinstalling. However, now the Microsoft store says the system does not meet requirements for the game.

Specifically it says I’m not meeting a DirectX requirement, though from running dxdiag I know we have up to DirectX 12. I suspect this could be a graphics card problem we have an Nvidia GeForce GTX 260 in this computer, which after poking around seems to only support up to feature level 10_0? But i could be wrong

My questions are:

1. Am I correct in assuming we need a graphics card update? If so, why did this show up only recently, when the game was running fine before?

2. If this isn’t the problem, why else would the Microsoft Store telling me I’m not meeting system requirements?

:)
