    why wont apps download?


    Whenever i download an app of the microsoft store it doesn't show in my files in the pc in downloads, or anywhere, nor a shortcut is created to get to that game.I have to go into the search settings and search the game i wish to play. How do I fix this so a shortcut is displayed and the game goes to my files?

  2. Windows 10 Apps from the store wont download

    Hi Sumon,

    Sorry for the delay in response.

    • Do you face this issue only with these apps?
    • Did you try downloading other apps?
    • Did you try stopping these apps and then downloading it again?
    We would suggest you to try the steps mentioned in the link

    • Type troubleshooting in the search
      box
      and hit Enter.
    • Click View all from the left pane and select Windows store apps.
    • Follow the on-screen instructions and check.
    If the steps don't work try these steps:

    Try to reset the Windows store and check.
    • Press Win + R on the keyboard to open run Window.
    • Type wsreset.exe to reset the Windows store cache.
    Hope this information helps.

    photo app in windows 10 wont load

    my photo app wont open, and I cant uninstall it for it does not come up in the apps list in the settings. But it is in the all apps list.

    When I have tried to reinstall it from playstore it says already installed. But wont open, and the new Twinui default photo view app wont open any jpeg files it say "class not registered".

    I have followed other suggestions of troubleshooting, and system scan with no results.

    Any suggestions?

    regards

    Tarn

    downloading apps

    Hi George,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    I would like to understand the issue better, could you let me know

    1. Operating system and edition of operating system you are using?
    2. From where you are trying to download apps?

    However you can try following steps to if you are using Microsoft store to download apps.

    Step 1 :

    1. Open RUN box by pressing
      windows + R
      button on the keyboard.
    2. Then type WSReset.exe and click on
      OK.
    3. Try to logging in to store with your Microsoft account.
    4. Try downloading the apps.

    Step 2:

    1. Search for command prompt on
      Cortana
      search bar.
    2. Right click on command prompt and click on
      run as administrator.
    3. Type below command and press enter.

      Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

    The above command will take some time and I would suggest you to wait until the process completes.

    To know the edition of operating system,

    1. Right click on This PC and click on
      Properties.

    Hope it helps.
