  1. What exactly is the refund policy at Microsoft Store?


    I bought a WiFi analysis app which has not been updated in over 4 years. Link is https://www.microsoft.com/store/productId/9NBLGGH20FR1. It does not recognize my device since it's WiFi6 and is practically useless for me. On the store there was no option of "Try before buy" or "Trial", hence I was forced to buy it. Right after I bought the app and realizing that this is a useless app, I went to order history in my Microsoft account and it did not have the refund button.

    I am not able to understand a few things:

    • Why a trial before buy is not given on Microsoft Store?
    • Does Microsoft not monitor if the app is being continuously updated and is usable so that developer is not running any scam-fest via the Microsoft Store?
    • If a customer actually falls prey to such developers who don't update and keep selling their crappy old apps, should the customer not be given a refund? This is a digital asset and unlike a product key, this is not a sharable product that I can distribute at all. Why has this app not been kept refundable?


    Also, I am not able to find a contact email of Microsoft Store, please help with this as well.

    :)

    Refund for an application bought on Microsoft Store

    Hi,

    Most apps, games, movies, TV shows, and books purchased in the Microsoft Store on Windows 10 or Xbox One are non-refundable unless the offer or applicable law states that you’re eligible for a refund. Should you have other questions and clarifications,
    we suggest that you contact our
    Microsoft Support
    team.

    For detailed information about the return and refund policy, see
    Microsoft Terms of Sale.



    Let us know if you need further assistance.

    Refund Policy

    The refund policy is actually garbage, my close friend Corben bought **** Minecraft, the game he didn't want, and doesn't want to play, he bought it from the Microsoft store, and immediately tried to get a refund, b ut as far as I can tell he can't, what's
    the reasoning behind this, the game is digital and can be easily refunded for 0 cost to both parties.

    If anyone can help him get a refund for the product he didn't want that'd be great, thanks.
