issue with re-installing games after new windows installation

Cliff Waldwyn · Nov 2, 2022

I bought 3 different age of empires games in the last 12 months - all 3 were installed via a code - I have since had a PC crash where I needed to re-install windows from scratch - how do I get these games back as it says code already used

:)

thanks - that worked

much appreciated - wasn't aware of the library option

Make sure you're signed into the same account you used the codes with and in the Microsoft Store app, you can reinstall them through your library.

Hi,

I tried your solutions but unfortunately no one works.

I re-installed the game and i can launch it now so problem solved.

I had this issue because i change the game language (french to english). After I re-installed it, i try to change my windows language and i had the same problem, had to re-install the game.

Thank you for your help and if anyone had this problem after change the language you have to re-install the game.

If it's starts re-installing after an uninstall, then what happens if you pause / cancel the re-installation from the Windows Store?
