Trying to install some apps then it says to install, which I do, but it never says installed

Hello,

Thank you for writing to us.

From the description provided, I understand that you are unable to install multiple apps via Windows Store.

The issue might occur if the app is not being able to download itself via Store at the first place.

First, try to update the Windows Store apps and see if it helps to make any positive impact.

Please follow the below steps.

1. Open the Store app.

2. Click on the user icon, and click/tap on
Downloads and updates.

3. Click on Check for updates.

4. If you have updates available for apps, then you can click on
Update all, or click/tap on the download and install (down arrow) button to update individual apps.

If it still does not help, I suggest you to follow these steps to run the Windows inbuilt troubleshooter and then try again to download and install the apps.

• Write Troubleshooting in the search box and hit enter.

• Click on Troubleshooting tab.
  

• Click on view all option on the upper left corner.
  

• Select the Windows Update option from the list.
  

• Click Next to run theTroubleshooter.

Kindly keep us posted on the status of the issue.

Thank you.

 

How do I reinstall an app that the computer says is not there but the store says is installed

Hi Shawn and Ruth

I used Powershell to uninstall it again and double checked that the tile was gone. It was. Then I reinstalled it from the store. I checked in the start list and the game is listed under "recently added" and listed under "D" in the "All Apps" from the
start menu. I reset the store like Ruth suggested and tried to open the game from the store's "Open" box -- no luck. Then I tried opening the game from the start menu - no luck.

Under "Settings" and "Apps and Features" the game is not listed.

The store says that the game is installed.

The Package is listed under PowerShell as:

Full Name: A278AB0D.DragonMainaLegends_1.7.0.15_x86_h6adky7gbf63m

Install Location: C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\A278AB0D.DragonMainaLegends_1.7.0.15_x86_h6adky7gbf63m

 

app saying it is installed when it is not

Hello everyone,

I recently uninstalled the app Instagram because it was glitching. So I went to the store to re-install it about a day later, and found that I couldn't, because it says it is already installed (even though it isnt!) all it says on the microsoft store is 'launch'
but when I press launch nothing happens. When I go to settings to reset Instagram app, it says it is unable to do it, I am unable to access Instagram at all or find it anywhere on my phone at all. Which makes me think it isn't installed! But on lists on my
phone it says it is. I have since uninstalled and re-installed apps, and they were fine. I would really appreciate any help because I really want Instagram back! Thanks in advance.
