Windows 10 Game Apps

Based on the error you've received, this seems to be due to corrupted Store cache. We suggest manually resetting the Store app from the Settings menu. Here are the steps:

• Click Start, then Settings.
  
• Select System.
• Select Apps & features.
• Find the Store app, then click Reset.
• Click Reset again to confirm.
• Restart your device so that the changes will take effect. Sign in to the app. Launch the game and check if the same issue occurs.
  

We also recommend accessing the game from the Start menu. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon in the lower-left corner of the main screen.
• Select All apps, and then find your game in the list. Check if you encounter the same issue.

We also recommend signing in to a different user profile. This can help determine if this is due to corrupted user profile. Here are the steps:

• Press the Windows button on your device or keyboard, or select the Windows icon from the bottom-left corner of the main screen.
• Select your account name from the top-left corner of the menu, and then select Switch account.
• Sign in with an account other than the one you were using.
• Restart the game to see if it works correctly.

If you don't have a different user profile, kindly perform the steps provided on this link

 

Can't choose app/game storage

Hello,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

I understand your requirement and concern in this regard.

Are you referring to Windows Store Apps/Games?

The default installation location of Windows Store apps is in drive C. However currently there is no option to change the default installation location of Windows Store apps to any other drive. Moreover it's not a good idea to change the location.

We welcome you feedback in this regard. Post your feedback using Windows Feedback app, which helps us to improve your experience in future.

With regard to running out of memory, I suggest you go to remove unwanted files by following below steps.

Delete temporary and download files:

Temporary files used to help your apps load and run faster, but they're not being used anymore. To delete them:

• 
  Open the Start menu
  and select Settings > System > Storage.
  
• 
  Under Storage, select This
  PC > Temporary files.
  
• 
  Under Temporary files, select
  Delete temporary files > Yes, I'm sure.
  

Every time you download something from the web, a copy of the file is saved in your Downloads folder. To see

what's in Downloads and remove what you don't need:

• 
  Open the Start menu
  and select Settings > System > Storage.
  
• 
  Under Storage, select
  This PC > Temporary files.
  
• 
  Under Downloads, select
  View downloads.
  

Free up your disk space by using Disk Clean Up:

• 
  Press Windows Key
  and type 'cleanmgr'(without quotes) and hit Enter Key.
  
• 
  In the Drives list, choose the drive you want to clean, and then tap or click
  OK.
  
• 
  In the Disk Cleanup dialog, select the checkboxes for the file types that you want to delete, tap or click
  OK, and then tap or click Delete files.
  

Keep us posted for any concern with windows, we're glad to assist you.

 

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
