Windows 10: Windows Store Applications

Hey guys,


Recently I've been having lots of trouble trying to install State of Decay 2 on my computer. The game is currently on the Xbox game pass and I wanted to give mouse and keyboard a try. However, every time I go into the Microsoft Store and click install the download starts for a second and stops. I never even get close to completing the full download. I've gone through tons of YouTube tutorials, I've done the troubleshoots like resetting the Windows Store and searching for a software update. None of those "solutions" worked in the slightest. It's starting to get especially frustrating because I almost bought the PC game pass but State of Decay 2 is a "Play Anywhere" game and I shouldn't need to. If anyone has any piece of helpful information it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.


Sincerely,

Casual gamer
