Hello Trfndoekoop, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

I am very sorry for the problem you are going through. I was researching in one of the Microsoft forums and found this article (https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c9b669a2-ac8b-46fb-bb99-eeeca6efbc3d)">https://answers.microsoft.com/thread/c9b669a2-ac8b-46fb-bb99-eeeca6efbc3d) Gerardo C. independent advisor , shows that the solution to the problem can be solved by following these steps:

"Please try to solve the problem you are experiencing by resetting the Windows Microsoft Store cache. To do this, you must press the Windows + R keys, and enter the command "WSReset.exe" without the quotes and wait for it to finish "After the process, you will know that it is finished when the Microsoft Store opens automatically and the command prompt closes. Please note that this process may take a few minutes. Once finished, you will need to restart your PC and check if the problem is solved."
