Xbox app redirects to w10 store with page saying "this app will not work on your device".

The issue here is that if im trying to buy Halo Wars 2, as an example. I will find it in the xbox app, click on it, and then the windows store app opens up, on a page, where i cant buy it, with the statement "this app will not work on your device".

This is odd for 2 reasons.

1. im trying to buy the xbox version of the game. Hence why im in the xbox app to begin with.

2. Why even have the xbox version of the game on the w10 store, if i cant buy it there.

If i search for Halo Wars 2 in the w10 store app, I'm presented with the pc version of the game. And yes, im aware if i buy it there i will also have the digital version available for xbox with the same purchase.

This seems to only be a problem with the "Play anywhere" games on the xbox app.

If i click on any other game not using this service, the xbox app will happily open up a page where i can buy that game, for my xbox, immediately.

Any chance this will get fixed?

Is there a way to add a language pack to the keyboard

Hello

At the moment I think the best way to do this is to download
Smartglass on your smartphone or to have the
Xbox App open on a W10 device. If you're phone or W10 device is on the same network as your Xbox One you can then type on your Xbox using those devices when you're prompted with a keyboard.

(It doesn't work in certain apps like Netflix though)

Hi!

Try checking directly on the store
page. Otherwise, reset the app using the "wsreset.exe" command and try again with the Store in W10.
