[help needed] Windows Store still thinks removed apps are installed
Hi guys, so basically I've ran into an issue with the app store where it will not let me install a game even though it is not installed anymore, it still show the game as installed...
it's actually more than one game but it started with gears of war 4, may update had released but the store wasn't showing any updates so I decided to uninstall the game and reinstall it. When I went to uninstall it, I got an error message like this:
As I said its happening with more then one game/app but started with gears.
So I decided to remove the files of the game manually including registry keys. I can't find anything else related to gears of war 4 on my pc but it still pops up in windows store as installed and Cortana search. clicking play does nothing.
it should be saying install
any solution to get the store seeing it as not installed?
