    How Do I Backup Windows Store Games AND Restore It Again

    Hi GooglePixel5

    Currently there is no way to backup Microsoft Store games, Microsoft are looking to make this possible the same way as it is with Steam games, but I have not read anything on this lately, so for the moment, that is not possible, until hopefully they provide
    us with a way to backup those Store games . . .

    Backup or Restore Windows Store Games after clean OS Installation

    Ok, I have purchase some games on Windows 10 Store, and the question is, is there a way to restore Windows Store Games without re-downloading them?? I mean why can't Microsoft make the store recover downloaded files, or reuse downloaded game files?? if
    there's a way to backup installation settings like registry or any appdata, and after Windows 10 restored to it's former glory, i want to be able to just recovery the settings files that makes the Windows Store recognize that i have already installed the game(s),
    so it don't have to redownload GBs of games!! I wish Microsoft will fix this, because Steam and other game providers are doing well with their game pre-load or reusing downloaded game files!
