Windows 10: PLEASE i need help with microsoft store acting up

Hi! i am trying to download Age of empires definitive edition on microsoft store,which BTW is a game pass game(that detail might be important later) and i have a small list of problems which have had me scratching my head for the last 6 days..

• right now, the main problem is that the install button is with the red "prohibited" symbol when i hover on top install and i cannot click install. i have already tried:

1. delete microsoft store cache
2. signed out and back in to my ms account(might be of importance: i am trying to download using the ms account where the game was bought, while i use a different ms account for my windows os)
3. checked that time and date are o.k
4. did the powershell thing where you :

• PowerShell with admin rights
• set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned answer with "Y"
• Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppxManifest.xml"}

3. used the windows trubleshooter, which said something that had to do with the store cache was missing or corrupt, but it fixed it...

1. updated windows to the latest version(1909:18363.1082)

any hellp is highly appreciated

ACT Pro 2013 will not open in Windows 10

Hi,

Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.

The most likely causes on a standalone are a damaged or invalid .pad file or SQL is not running, or is damaged.

I suggest you to follow the steps below and check if the issue persists.

• • 
    Click your Windows Start button, choose Run and type in actdiag.
    

• • 
    When ACT! Diagnostics comes up, click Databases, the Database List.
    

• • 
    Locate your database in the list, right-click on it and select Detach. Make sure you know the filepath to your database before detaching it.
    

• • 
    When the database has been detached, open My Computer (or Windows Explorer) and browse to the location of your database.
    

• • 
    Locate the .PAD file for your database [database name].pad and delete it.
    

• • 
    Reopen ACT!...you will get a message that the last database opened cannot found, then will be taken to the Open Database dialog box.
    

• • 
    At the bottom of this box, change the Files of Type to .adf, browse to the location of your database and double-click on the .adf file for your database.
    

• • 
    You will get a message that ACT! will verify your database, click OK and ACT will reattach your database to SQL and create a new .pad file.
    
  • 
    Hope this helps.
