    Microsoft apps/games not installing


    I have a problem with apps/games from the Microsoft Store not downloading.

    First of all, I looked my problem up, which was initially that my games and apps were crashing.

    They said to check if Windows needs an update, which it did, and I installed it.

    Afterwards, I tried downloading my apps from the microsoft store. The apps showed in the apps list in Start but the loading bar was not filling at all. I tried deleting and reinstalling them and sometimes the same thing would happen and other times they either did not show up at all or took a long time to get there. Please tell me what needs to be done to fix it.


    Note: My parents blocked the Microsoft store in the Microsoft family thing so I had to go through Edge to get to the Microsoft store on the web and then I selected to download my apps remotely and then selected my computer I wanted to download it on. Also, my computer is in S mode and I am not allowed to take it out. I will not be able to download any apps you recommend me to from the internet.

    :)

    Microsoft apps/games not installing

    Are all these games actually installed?

    I followed those instructions, and rebooted to be sure, but my Start menu still shows loads of games and things I don't want.

    Looking at the control panel, I can't see any of them under the list of installed programs, but it could be that apps show up somewhere else (never used them so I don't know).

    Any ideas? Thanks
