Windows 10: Microsoft Store won't download Minecraft

I have played the game for a few weeks with friends. Then all of a sudden the game didn't load on launch. I waited about 30 minutes, but to no avail. So I closed it, repeated it several times to no avail. So I uninstalled the game in hopes of reinstalling it. But Microsoft Store disagreed with me. First, the search bar was not working. I had to search through the games to find my game. Then I noticed that after clicking install once, there was no button anymore That's when I started looking for troubleshooting. I went through dozens of posts, but none could solve my problem. The app says it
