    How can I free up space taken up by an incomplete Microsoft Store download?

    Found the solution. Steps I used to fix this:

    1. Open the C:\Program Files\WindowsApps folder, which is where the Windows Store puts its downloads. The WindowsApps folder isn't permissioned to normal users, so this has to be done using some utility that's being run as administrator (either a command prompt window, or some other file manager like 7zip; h/t ManSamVampire for the 7zip suggestion). DO NOT assign ownership of the WindowsApps folder to your own user account to gain access to it, as doing so will cause major problems and can't be easily undone (h/t Ramhound's answer for this warning).
    2. Sort the subfolders inside WindowsApps by the date they were last modified; this will let you easily find the folders that have recently had new stuff put into them.
    3. In my case, the offending subfolder was called MSIXVC, which is apparently a type of installer used by the Windows Store. Inside, I had an anomalous 37GB file created last night with no file extension, called "8BBF2763-A1C6-4F1B-96CA-B79DD5FDA4EE". Given that this file was enormous, created at the right time, and in a subfolder suggesting it was an installer, I concluded that this was the droid I was looking for.
    4. From within your run-as-administrator utility, delete the offending file. I deleted the ginormous, bafflingly-named file from the MSIXVC folder, and lo and behold I had all my disk space back!

    Now redownloading and installing Outer Worlds. This time I'll know better than to turn off my computer partway through.

  3. Win 10 Microsoft App Store Missing

    Hi, I'm having a huge issue with a clients laptop and none of the forums , YouTube tutorials or Microsoft support has been able to help me with this problem .
    The Microsoft store App has completely disappeared from they're Laptop , other Microsoft store apps are still there but they don't run.

    I have tired to use the methods mentioned on theses websites ( only posting a few since all of them say the same things)

    This is the one ill use as reference: Solved: Microsoft Store App missing in Windows 10 version 2004

    In the above mentioned site it gave a few ways to fix it ( none worked ) , i'll list all the ones i tried and try and give as much information about the results as possible.
    In order :
    1 . Run Trouble Shooter for "Windows Store Apps" , no problems detected .
    2 . Reset Windows Store cache using Win+R . gives you the "you'll need a new app to open this ms-windows-store" popup box
    3 . Re-Register Microsoft Store using power shell (look at reference link to see what code was used , results in the posted snapshot)

    4 . Run DISM command in elevated command prompt (again look at reference for commands used) , "check health" showed component store as repairable,
    but following commands resulted in nothing but 16 hours of waiting with no results
    5 . Manually Repair Microsoft Store , downloaded the file given (http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=619547)
    ran the first command step 5. as written on site (results image ) . tried skipping step 5. and went straight to step 6. (results in image)

    i uploaded a system info file ("msinfo32.nfo") at filehosting.org you can view it at below link .
    (this is a download link for the nfo file) https://www.filehosting.org/file/det...7/msinfo32.nfo

    Also . . . . unfortunately i don't know when the problem started or if it was caused after a update , app install or something like that . All i know about what happened before i was contacted is what they told me , apparently the Microsoft store kept giving a error code when trying to update or connect to account ( they conveniently don't remember the code though) . i have searched all they're apps from top to bottom and i cant find any trace of the MS store , all that remains are the games and apps they downloaded from the store before it started with it's problems .

    I also ask that any info or help you can give to be posted below (obviously) and if you guys can possibly also send it to my personnel email L: kobuscoetsee78@gmail.com ( this account was created with my clients details , i don't use my personnel details on my clients devices ever! . any info you guys can send to my own email will help me a lot , since i might then be able to start making any necessary preparations before getting back to them )
