    Cannot install games/apps on microsoft store. Also, wsreset.exe not working


    Hello,

    Whenever I try to install an app or game it asks me to what disk, I select my HDD (D), and click "Install", but it doesn't install. It doesn't even change from "You own the game" to "Installing" or whatever. By the way, yes I have more than enough required
    space to download and install the app. This problem has been occuring to me for 6 months now and I couldn't find a solution since then. I've tried resetting the Windows Store by opening wsreset.exe and it opens, though, it freezes at that point and shows nothing.
    Just stays there, not resetting or doing anything in the system or the Windows Store.

    Can someone help me?

    :)

    can't install microsoft bingo after accidentally uninstalling it

    Hi!

    If you cannot download and install Microsoft Bingo from the W10 Store, then try to restore the app with the "wsreset.exe" command.

    No gamepass games will install through the Xbox app on PC

    Kathy:

    Thanks for your response, I added the Xbox app and the Store to the exception list, however that did not work. I have fully uninstalled McAfee whish also did not work.

    I ran WSRESET.EXE a few time with Run as Administrator, however that also did not work.

    I am still receiving the same error messages from both the Xbox app and the microsoft store.

    I can still install apps that do not support installation to a specific folder, however the apps that require Admin approval keep giving me the error message.

    I just installed Microsoft Mahjong and that download and installed fine.

    Thanks.

    How do I get the other characters in Killer Instinct Definitive Edition

    Try reinstalling the DLC from the Microsoft Store. Go to the Microsoft Store app and search for the DLC, then click on "Install" to download and install it.

    If the above steps don't work, you can try resetting the Microsoft Store. Press the "Windows key + R" to open the Run dialog box, type "wsreset.exe" and click "OK." This will reset the Microsoft Store cache.

    I cannot install gaming services for the life of me

    i am signed into microsoft store and the xbox app with the same account, my windows 11 and xbox app is up to date, i have used wsreset.exe on the microsoft store numerous times now, i follow each wsreset with an attempt to download gaming services either through the xbox app, or through microsoft store using the gaming services page i can access by putting the "start ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9MWPM2CQNLHN" command in powershell. none of these solutions have solved the problem, downloading from the xbox app still does nothing and the microsoft store still freezes the second i click install on the gaming services page. i cannot update gaming services because it isnt installed, i still cannot get it to install.

    For clarification i am not having issues with updating gaming services, i am having issues INSTALLING gaming services. i was having other issues with gaming services before hand and the fix i followed involved uninstalling and reinstalling gaming services, the problem is that i cannot re install gaming services, NOT that i cannot update it. i do not have the app installed and i am trying to install it. reinstalling gaming services is quite literally the last step in the fix of the previous issues, but now i have a different one. (not being able to REINSTALL gaming services)
