    Microsoft store/gamepass video games Reinstall themselves even though i never uninstalled...


    basically when ever i get updates to games and and start to install them
    eventually the update becomes a full reinstall of the games that updated
    is there anyway to stop this happening?
    or a explanation on why it is?
    its becoming really frustrating because i want to play ARK:SE and that game is 168 GB so reinstalling that in a timely matter is impossible

    :)

    Microsoft store/gamepass video games Reinstall themselves even though i never uninstalled them in the first place

    Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

    First try to reset the Store

    - Go to settings by pressing the Windows + i keys

    - Navigate to Apps >>> Applications and features.

    - Select the Microsoft Store application and then click Advanced Options.

    - Click the Reset button.

    - Confirm the reset by clicking on Reset again.

    - Check the store and see if the issue is resolved.

    If that doesn't work, then try to clear the Store cache;

    - Try and press the "Windows + r" keys and type "wsreset.exe" (without the quotes)

    - A command prompt window will pop up and close after a few seconds.

    - When the Store automatically check if the issue is resolved.

    If that doesn't help, next you can try to run the troubleshooter

    — Go to Settings by pressing Windows + i

    — Navigate to Update & Security >>> Troubleshooting.

    — Then select Windows Store Applications then choose the Run Troubleshooter.

    — It will launch and check for problems with the Microsoft Store. If it detects a problem, follow its recommendations to fix it.

    — When you're done, open the Store and check if the issue is resolved

    Last step is to reinstall the Store

    — Run Windows PowerShell as administrator. (Right click on the start button and click on 'Windows Shell - Admin)

    — Now to reinstall the Store, Copy and paste this command:

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register '$ ($ _. InstallLocation) \\ AppXManifest.xml'}

    — Open the Microsoft Store and check if the issue has been resolved.

    HELP! Game has 0KB update

    Hey, for anyone experiencing this, uninstalling and then going to your games {in the games and apps} and reinstall from there not from gamepass.
    I had purchased the game from the Microsoft store and I still have the issue. I have 2 Minecraft applications and one of them keeps giving me a 0KB update. I can’t uninstall it though.

    Xbox one s network transfer

    In the Microsoft store, does it show the game as "already owned"? Have you tried uninstalling the game and reinstalling it from the store?
    No, When i go to the store it says to buy it. Its downloaded on the xbox will give me an option to uninstall where my games and apps are even though it says i need to install it

    Microsoft Store Games Are Uninstalling Themselves.

    Hey,

    I looked for a solution to your problem and I found this site that may have the solution to your question.

    It suggests first a hard reset, then if unsuccessful, clear your cache, or uninsall game and reinstall.

    Here isthelink to the site:

    https://www.thewindowsclub.com/xbox-one-uninstalling-deleting-games/amp

    I hope this helps, I do not have contact with higher ups, but still hope everything gets resolved.

    As to why this occures, unfortunatly I am not sure but if I find anything out I will post an update.

    Have a nice day.

    Games uninstalling themselves and won't reinstall

    Hi CT UNC,

    When you are able to let's try a cold boot of the console by unplugging it for a full 5 minutes. Are you seeing these games being removed still, are you using an external hard drive by chance?

    Thank you.
