How to reinstall apps purchased from the Microsoft Store

You deleted one or more Windows 10 applications that you purchased or downloaded from the Microsoft Store, but now something unexpected happens and you need to run those applications again, what should you do?

Overall, reinstalling the Microsoft Store app on Windows 10 is very simple. Additionally, you can also install apps you purchased from the Microsoft Store on multiple PCs, as long as you're signed in with the same Microsoft account. The procedure is as follows:

First, visit the Microsoft Store. If you can't find the Microsoft Store icon on your desktop, open the Start menu and enter the keyword ' Microsoft Store ', then click the application's icon when it appears in the search results.

When the Microsoft Store app opens, look at the top right corner of the screen and you'll see an icon of three dots in a row. Click on it to open the options menu, scroll down and click on ' My Library '.

In the ' My Library ' window , you will see a list of Windows 10 apps you own that were purchased or downloaded from the Microsoft Store.

By default, you'll see a list of all apps, including installed apps. To collapse, click ' Ready to install ' in the left menu, and you'll see a list of apps you already own, but aren't currently installed on your computer.

If you further narrow down the list of apps, you can apply a filter by name, by date of purchase, or by type (app or game) using the drop-down menu located above the list.

Once you've found the app(s) you want to reinstall, click the ' Install ' button next to the app.

Windows 10 will immediately download and install that application. Once the installation is complete, you can launch the app using the 'Launch' button in the Microsoft Store listing. Or just run the application from the Start menu as usual.

You guys are successful!
