Windows 10: I own a game on a disk but the store says I do not

I own minecraft on the disk. I bought it back in 2015. I have played it on the xbox but I would like to play the bedrock version on my laptop. When I try to download the game, it says I do not own it. Ive tried swapping accounts but nothing seems to work.

How do I reinstall an app that the computer says is not there but the store says is installed

Hi Shawn and Ruth

I used Powershell to uninstall it again and double checked that the tile was gone. It was. Then I reinstalled it from the store. I checked in the start list and the game is listed under "recently added" and listed under "D" in the "All Apps" from the
start menu. I reset the store like Ruth suggested and tried to open the game from the store's "Open" box -- no luck. Then I tried opening the game from the start menu - no luck.

Under "Settings" and "Apps and Features" the game is not listed.

The store says that the game is installed.

The Package is listed under PowerShell as:

Full Name: A278AB0D.DragonMainaLegends_1.7.0.15_x86_h6adky7gbf63m

Install Location: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\A278AB0D.DragonMainaLegends_1.7.0.15_x86_h6adky7gbf63m

 

Game not found in the xbox games hub but says it is in my collection

Some of my games end up in the app list as Jack suggests, and I've even seen some games listed in the Store Apps/Entertainment section instead of Games. I wish MS did a better job of classifying and sorting apps and games.

 

Windows Store games occupying hard disk space even after uninstalling

Hi Arpan,

This issue normally happens if something went wrong on the uninstalling process.

We suggest that you perform a Disk Cleanup as your workaround this time.

Please follow the step below:

• Go to File Explorer.
• Click This PC.
• Right click Local Disk.
• Choose Properties.
• Click Disk Cleanup.

We will wait for your response.

Regards.
