why cant i cancel a download on the Xbox app or the Microsoft store

Cancel the download from Xbox app and start it again from Microsoft store app

I cancelled the install but when i click “install” on the microsoft store nothing happens. However when i interact with the download on the xbox beta app its fine.

Thank you every one, I went to Microsoft store, started the game download from there then canceled it, and it was removed from the Xbox app, weird but the solved the issue.

Hello,

If you cancel this download and open the Microsoft Store App and try to download it there, does it behave the same?

Thank you

Hi,

Yes I have grounded downloaded and that works fine rn.

Some games I can manage to get to download by going to them via XBOX website for example Astroneer and Valheim. Like if I go to the XBOX app and search for those games they wont show up, but if I start the download from the website so it opens the xbox app from there I can download the game.

But that trick doesnt work with all the games. Like sea of thieves and no mans sky it will just greet me with the option ''not available'' after I open the xbox app from the store.

I feel like this is a problem with microsoft store app, not the xbox store app itself (because tried to delete and reinstall that). Im not sure but I assume XBOX app gets the games via microsoft store no? Because I cant see any of the games in microsoft store app either and I assume xbox app is linked to that somehow (would also kinda explain why I can get the downloads work from the website).

Another problem I noticed from my friends screenshot of his microsoft store front page is that when I open my microsoft store app and on the left side is the window is the bar with icons (like home, games/gaming etc), for me its only showing the home icon, not the games icon or any of those.
