Windows 10: New windows store apps won't launch

I got a new hard drive so I downloaded a few gamepass games on the windows store, none of them has worked so far. Some just do nothing when launched by the store, Xbox beta app or desktop and others flash an icon on the taskbar when opened. I tried moving them onto a different drive and they still don't work but all the games and apps I already had installed work fine even when moved onto the new hard drive.
Any help appreciated.

Get Windows 10 App won´t launch

Hello all,

I hope someone can help me. Finally after a lot of manual updates, my Get Windows 10 app is showing in the taskbar.

However, now when I left click it, right click Get Windows 10, right click Check your Update status, the app launches and immediately closes down again.

The options Go to Windows Update and Get to know Windows 10 do work.

Just the app won´t launch. Anyone ideas?

Windows 7 Home Premium

Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2600K CPU @ 3.40GHz

8.00 GB RAM

64-bit operating system
