F*CKING MICROSFT CAN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW TO USE THEIR OWN SH*T

I just wanted to install a sh*tty app from sh*tty microsoft store just to find the f*cking install button not working. Went back to full monkey mode and smashed my mouse against the install button .... now I neither have a f*cking app nore a f*cking mouse.

Thanks Microsoft for f*cking nothing

And yes I've done everything suggested from "checking for windows updates" to "clearing cache via powershell"

By about 2010 this kind of shit had happened to me enough I abandoned Windows for everything but gaming.

@HiFiWiFiSciFi Maybe I should start doing the same. Thinking back, my first and only experience with linux via a raspberry wasn't soooo bad.

@Xenoxus If it's not a secret, what were you trying to install?

@kamen Drawboard PDF, it's a neat tool I already used before on my Laptop. Guess I am going back to taking some notes with paint ... until microsoft ruins that aswell

@Xenoxus reminds me of my automation I'm building ATM :) It generates reports in xls format with some colouring applied. All the tools (LO/OO Calc, Mac's Numbers, GDocs, etc.) open it up perfectly fine. When it comes to MS Excel - a random number of cells are uncoloured and the grid is missing here and there. Tested with multiple versions.

Looks like MS is incapable of handling its own standards properly :D

Go Team Microsoft!

@dontbeevil not following the analogy...

@dontbeevil I'd agree if it was one or two competitors. But all of them..?

Usually there is a trick with the regedit where you can also list an app as not registered. You have to work wkth event viewer to find that.

Can't fully remember, easiest is to reinstall windows completly.

@dontbeevil
- checked for Windows Updates
- reset the store in the apps-settings
- cleared the cache via a powerShell command
- logged out and in again
And even restarted my pc

@KDSBest if I ever uninstall windows I am not sure I'll ever reinstall it...

@Xenoxus I don't have issues with MS and Windows at all.

VSCode, notepad++, Visual Studio, Office, Unreal Engine and Unity

That's what I use it for.

Does it look Ike that ?

Was a Company group policy as far as I remember, so don’t blame MS, but blame the company.

Had a similar issue because our IT screwed up image creation for my laptop. Clearing the cache aka "wsreset.exe" fixed it. The process took over 30min to complete.
