Why do I have to reinstall my Xbox one games if it says their already installed on my...

AVG Antivirus was the culprit, blocking the game's exe. I had to add an exception to the game's folder and reinstall as AVG couldn't restore the file from the quarantine list.

My update for a game says ready to start but is on 100%, what do I do if I have already restarted Xbox and don’t want to reinstall the game?

check in the updates section if you see the update of the game as pending to install, otherwise I feel that you will have to reinstall your game or delete the update and download it again
