Windows 10: Microsoft Store game crashes constantly

I recently downloaded the Astroneer game from the Microsoft Store and when I try to run it I can see the logo for a second before it disappears, I also have problems with the other games. I ran troubleshooting for Microsoft Store apps, however it did nothing. Resetting the game and resetting the store cache didn't help either. I don't know what to do next so I would appreciate any help.
