  1. Windows Will Not Stop Reinstalling Games


    I have a subscription to Game Pass on PC and have downloaded a bunch of games with it, and when I'm finished I have tried to uninstall them. Unfortunately, Windows takes it upon itself to start reinstalling them again. This is the third time I've uninstalled both Gears 5 and Outer Worlds, yet inevitably I eventually see a notification to let me know that one of them has just finished installing. These are big games, especially Gears.

    Anyone know how I can uninstall them for good? How is this even happening?

  2. I can't reinstall my previously installed games!!!

    Hi Fahd,

    It appears that you're having an issue installing your previous games after reinstalling Windows 10. We would like to know if it is only happening when you're installing your games or is it also happening when you're installing an app from Microsoft Store.

    Meanwhile, we suggest clearing Windows Store's cache by performing these steps:

    • Press Windows key + R.
    • Type wsreset.exe then hit Enter.
    • Restart your computer.

    Keep us in the loop with the result.
