Solved Games will not open

Maybe you can help with this. I always play the Mahjong game shown at the top right hand corner of the attached screen capture I made. I got the game from the Windows shop last year and paid extra for 500 extra games on it. It has always worked perfectly. But today when I wanted to play it, nothing happened when I pressed on the icon – the icon went in but nothing happened. I re-booted and tried again, over and over, still nothing. Same thing with the Mahjong one at the bottom called “Castle.”
I went to the Windows shop and tried to download it again, but it said I already owned it so it wouldn’t download. Is there any way to uninstall it and then download again, or do you know what else I can try.

Hi John,

Hope is well!

Please have a look at this tutorial and work your way through the different troubleshooting items. You will also find under section 21 how to uninstall and reinstall store apps.

All the best.

I really should look at the screen properly. When I wanted to uninstall an App, I was looking in Control Panel. I never thought of right clicking on the App and checking the screen for an uninstall button. Problem solved. I re-in stalled the App and it now works. Grateful thanks!!

glad I could point you in the right direction!

Have a great day.

Cheers,
Harry
