Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are unable to install apps in Microsoft Store. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers

Step
1: Reset the Windows Store Cache: Press the Windows

A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

then try installing the game.



Step 5: If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and
check, refer this article to create

Unable to install Apps downloaded from Windows Store

Hi, Vinesh.

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.
I understand your concern, and we in Community will try to help you in the best possible way.



I suggest that you perform the steps mentioned below and check if the issue occurs.



Step 1: Run App Troubleshooter.

Note: The troubleshooter automatically fixes some issues that might prevent your apps from running, including suboptimal screen resolution and incorrect security or account settings.

• Type “Troubleshooting” in the search box and press Enter.
• Click on ‘View All’ on the top left pane.
• Click on “Windows Store Apps” from the list and follow the on-screen prompts for troubleshooting.

Step 2:

If the issue persist, I would suggest that you un-install and re-install the app from Windows Store.



Note: Exit store when trying to re-install the app.

Hope this information helps and let us know the status of the issue we will be glad to help you further.
