Windows 10: Redeeming a code on Microsoft Store does not function.

Clicking "Redeem a code" on the Microsoft Store opens a password box. After entering my password, the box closes, returning me to the store. I've attempted running the Windows Store troubleshooter, resetting it in the apps settings, resetting the store's cache, and reinstalling it through Powershell.

I redeemed the code with my minecraft account for minecraft windows 10, but when i go to the microsoft store it says i need to buy it

Hi,

Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

I understand that you have already redeemed the code for Minecraft. I would suggest check the Order History in your Microsoft account to see if the code is already redeemed and
linked your account. To do that you can refer the article to
Redeem a gift card or code to your Microsoft, under ‘Troubleshooting’, please refer the section ‘The code was already redeemed’. After this, make sure to check if you have logged into Windows
Store using the same Microsoft account through which the code was redeemed.

If the code is redeemed, linked to your account and if you have logged in with the same account in Windows Store on your system, but you are still not able to find the option to download and install the game, I would suggest you
to follow the steps below and check if it is helpful to you.

Steps to reset Windows Store:

1. Click on the Start button, type
   cmd, right-click on it and select Run as administrator.
   
2. Type wsreset.exe and press
   Enter.
   
3. The execution of this command may take some time, after which, you can check if you are able to install the game.
   

If the issue persists, please reply to us with the results of the suggestions provided above. We will look into this and we will be glad to assist you accordingly.

Redeem a game

I'm from Romania, Europe, don't know if my language will be available but i don't want it in my language, i want it in english.

I've done both Online and Windows 10 steps from the link, but still the same error:

Check the instructions that came with your code. You might need to redeem it on a different web page.

 

Redeeming a product code in Microsoft store

Sad to say but it seems like Microsoft has not fully tested out the whole process of redeeming/checking out. Anyways, I used Firefox to log into mail and redeem the code. DID NOT USE MICROSOFT EDGE!!! Hope that helps. I've been downloading and redeeming
codes for the .10cent sale and have not encountered any issues using alternate browser. The suggestion that Microsoft Tech gave did not work for me.
