Alright so I've tried the following:

- DISM and the commands you suggested I entered.

- SFC and the commands you suggested I entered.

- Repaired the Microsoft store, and the games that do not work. None of my games worked prior to this or after this.

- Tried signing in under one account for both the microsoft store and the xbox app.

- Tried launching the games in both the microsoft and xbox app. None worked.

Even after doing all this none of my games work. I can't seem to launch any of them because they all bring up this file system error code about 3 minutes after launching: "file system error (-2015291336)"

Looks like "Save to my PC" does work. Viewed my Music library through the desktop and the downloaded music is there. When I click on the file the Xbox Music app launches but I get an error "Can't play file - error code 0xc1010091. So my problem isn't
that "Save to my PC" doesn't work - my problem is that the content downloaded to my phone from the Xbox Music store doesn't show up on my computer when I synch it with the Windows Phone App for Windows 8 or if I copy it over using the desktop.

Windows standard with the space is fine:

File.Open(C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.7.12.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe);

fails because there is no expected space, it ends up as:

File.Open(C:\Program -> error

File.Open("C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.7.12.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe"); -> quote " syntax handles spaces.

This assumes though the "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_1.7.12.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\FlightSimulator.exe" is the actual issue, or it could
be the app having the path issue error.

The other possible issue I see is with Windows insider builds: https://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/580065-the-filename-directory-name-or-volume-label-syntax-is/
