Windows 10: Windows activation and downloading apps off the windows store.

First off, Forza Horizon 4 was crashing whenever I opened it up. I tried various fixes for it but none worked, so I ended up going to reinstall it. However when I tried to reinstall the game from the Windows Store it said it was unable, giving the error code "0x80072F8F". After trying all the fixes I could find online for this it still did not work. At this point I decided to reset Windows to see if that helped, not only did it not fix any previous issue, I am now not able to activate my Windows 10. I don't have access to the licence key as I bought Windows 8 with the PC many years ago and upgraded to 10 pro when it was free, last year I upgraded all my hardware and also had issues activating Windows, the fix ended up with someone from Microsoft remote controlling my PC and doing something, so I know I have a valid key. Please help.

Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."
