Hello Ian McCarthy,

Thank you for using our Microsoft community.

You were told there was not enough space when you downloaded the game in the Microsoft Store, but that didn't match up, and you're having trouble reinstalling your Xbox. Am I right?



Firstly, the space problem is mainly related to the download cache of your Microsoft Store, so execute the following commands to clear the cache. Run Command Prompt as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q", enter "cmd", select "Run as administrator"), and enter the following commands one by one.

net stop wuauserv

net stop bits

net stop cryptsvc

rd /s /q c:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution

rd /s /q %temp%

rd /s /q c:\Windows\temp

net start wuauserv

sc config wuauserv start=auto

net start bits

sc config bits start=auto

net start cryptsvc

sc config cryptsvc start=auto

wsreset.exe

Regarding the Xbox issue, can you reproduce the issue now? If yes, please take a screenshot of the error message, and only send the relevant information without PII in the next reply.

Then use the following commands to cleanly uninstall and reinstall the Xbox-related apps. Run Power Shell as an administrator ("Win" logo key + "Q", enter "Power Shell", select "Run as administrator"), and enter the following commands one by one.

get-appxpackage *Xbox* | remove-Appxpackage

wsreset.exe

winget install 9NZKPSTSNW4P --accept-package-agreements

winget install 9MV0B5HZVK9Z --accept-package-agreements

Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Xbox store is full of these apps for films and tv ive tried them all some are good others rubbish but they all seem to work and are allowed. Same situation on Windows 10 store loads of tv and movie apps all work as well. Im not sure why MS is allowing this
and the clampdown is not working. Hopefully they will respond soon because MS will be fined a lot soon if nothing done but also people who carry on using them. But In truth Xbox owners are only downloading an app that MS seems to allow on to the console so
in truth is the console owner breaking any laws watching pirated stuff on their console if the app has been allowed direct from MS xbox app store.

Fortnite Battle Royale is a free to play game. I downloaded it from the Epic Games website and it is not from the MS store.

Sadly, I do not own any pc games in the MS Store, only from steam.

But Fortnite is also available on xbox, so why can the app not realise what game it is?

It all goes through the Microsoft Store, so yes. Any game you buy on the Xbox app or MS Store is added to the MS Store.

Thanks,
Kyle
