    Microsoft store thinks I'm in Russia


    When I try to buy something in Microsoft store it says "Microsoft has suspended all new sales of product and serviced in this location" the thing is that I've never visited Russia and I'm in Ukraine actually, what do I even do

    :)

  2. I cant use Microsoft Store because it thinks I'm in Russia

    I cant use Microsoft Store or install Minecraft because they think I'm in Russia. Why is that? I've been living in EU, Latvia for 3 years already and haven't visited Russia since I moved. My account country is also set to Latvia. Why am I still not able to use Microsoft services?

    On the front page of Microsoft Store there is a mesage that says Microsoft suspended sales in Russia

    My laptop is from Poland, my Windows language is set to English and, again, I live in Latvia, I'm against the war.

  3. I cant use Microsoft Store because it thinks I'm in Russia

    Hi Igor!

    Thank you for the suggestion

    I checked if I had any activity done in Russia or related to it

    I found out that I had a Skype account set to Russia, which I now changed

    The copy of Minecraft I have, was also bought a long time ago when I lived in Russia. I tried buying another game from Xbox Store on PC with my Latvian debit card, I did so without problems but I still can't download and install Minecraft from it

    I also tried removing russian language as my second language from every Microsoft related profile or account I had. The problem still persists Microsoft store thinks I'm in Russia :(

    Now I also noticed that my Windows 10 also won't update. I assume its for the same reason

    App store and Microsoft account


    Thank you for the advice

    I see what you mean about the password but i think its a backward step to compromise my Microsoft password to to use the app store

  4. Microsoft thinks I'm in the US.

    in Windows 10 Gaming
    Microsoft thinks I'm in the US.: I tried buying a game on MS, when I went to the checkout, it showed me that I live in the US, which would not let me buy the game normally. I tried changing the region and stuff like that, but it was all New Zealand, where I am right now. Waiting for you people's responses....
