  1. Says I already own an app, but it will not install.


    I have followed multiple threads on this, restoring the Microsoft Store, even going to the extent of restoring Windows this evening. I am still having exactly the same issue.


    When I go into Microsoft Store and My Library I can see the App and it says Install which I click and the whole line then goes blank and it still doesn't install.


    Please can you help?

    :)

  2. Trying to install some apps then it says to install, which I do, but it never says installed

    Hello,

    Thank you for writing to us.

    From the description provided, I understand that you are unable to install multiple apps via Windows Store.

    The issue might occur if the app is not being able to download itself via Store at the first place.

    First, try to update the Windows Store apps and see if it helps to make any positive impact.

    Please follow the below steps.

    1. Open the Store app.

    2. Click on the user icon, and click/tap on
    Downloads and updates.

    3. Click on Check for updates.

    4. If you have updates available for apps, then you can click on
    Update all, or click/tap on the download and install (down arrow) button to update individual apps.

    If it still does not help, I suggest you to follow these steps to run the Windows inbuilt troubleshooter and then try again to download and install the apps.

    • Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.
    • Click on Troubleshooting tab.
    • Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
    • Select the Windows Update option from the list.
    • Click Next to run theTroubleshooter.

    Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue.

    Thank you.

    Mail app will not open on 10041.

    Hello Adam,

    This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it. Says I already own an app, but it will not install. :)

    In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

    • Open powershell as administrator
    • Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
    • Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
