I wished to continue playing Solitaire Klondike on the easy level one with a zero score. The instructions given in the article achieved this goal for myself.
Hi. Forgive me, but I’m a bit confused still. My Windows 10 Video Editor is glitching a lot. I want to reset it per your advice but I’m terrified if I do when I re-open it all of my video projects in it will be deleted. Is that true, or just that app settings, data, etc…Thanks so much. Mike
I want to thank you because, I do not have an Xbox and it was wanting my password for the Xbox, wanted me to reset the time and date to Pacific while I on East coast, and then given me that code for the Xbox. All this is on the computer.
My Windows Store applet hangs, displaying the clock
I followed your reset instructions, no help.
I tried using the WSReset.exe Store Reset tool, trying to run it both normally and as Admin. no help.
I tried running the MS Store apps Trouble shooter. It found one problem with a redirected temp folder. I let it fix the problem, re-ran with clean result. Sill no help.
My next move would be to uninstall and re-install it. But I can’t find a way to re-install the MS Store.
I reset an app and now the app is gone (as Window warned me it would be). I tried to reinstall it and now I am constantly getting an error. I followed all the steps in this guide so I am not exactly sure what went wrong.

It won’t delete your video projects, just its app settings.

Well, not all apps haves the “reset” option.
How can it here?
