Installing Halo Wars 2 on my windows 10 pc.

so after quite a bit of tinkering here is how you get it to work in windows 10

install the xbox app from windows store

if you havent redeemed the code, do it from this app  or the windows store website

open windows powershell in administrator (search power shell then right click and click run as administrator.)

copy/paste this (this will reinstall any thing windows needs by default for the store and xbox app)

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

push enter

restart your computer

open xbox app

search for the halo you bought and when you click it, it should now take you to the store and install should be available.

Thank you.

i tried the steps above, including starting my pc in safe mode. the store page still has the install button greyed out. i checked for updates since the store mentioned a windows 10 anniversary update, but there are no updates acailable so i'm assuming i already have it.
