I had just purchased the "Adera Deluxe Collectors Edition on Dec. 25 and today I didn't even get to move on to episode two. The game thinks I still need to purchase the remaining episodes. I go into my Microsoft store game library and get a "This item is not here" message.
Microsoft games are "currently not available in your account"
I've been playing Solitare, Mahjong, Minesweeper, Taptiles, Jigsaw, and Sudoku daily for a long time. Starting yesterday afternoon with Minesweeper, I'm getting a "currently not available in your account" error from some of them. I tried uninstalling Minesweeper and now I cannot re-download for the same reason (it errors when trying to acquire the license from the Windows store). Today, Mahjong and Jigsaw started with the same behavior. As of right now, the only games that will load are Solitare, Taptiles and Sudoku. Xbox app loads fine. The store is able to download and install other apps and games without a problem. Everything else appears to be working fine.
This is on a first generation Surface Book (i5/256/dGPU), all current updates installed (I'm on the creator's update build of Win10). I have a separate desktop PC I have yet to check to see if the problem exists there, too.
I have tried wsreset and a reboot, but I refuse to re-register the store via command line. The last time I tried that, my store ended up so broken I had to do a total OS refresh and reinstall all my software. I don't have time for that right now.

2017-07-11T23:06:54+00:00 The install under another MS account solution has been posted before and supposedly works. But it's also not a fantastic solution, considering you have to create another MS account if you don't already have more than one to use. You then have to remember that you have that other MS account in the future ... since they're connected to email addresses (or you create a new email address in the process... another not-so-ideal solution).
The troubleshooters on their own don't do anything (resetting the store doesn't do anything, I must've done it 20 times). I also ran the windows update troubleshooter 5-10 times. Neither helped. In the end, the games just started working again on their own.
I still believe this is Microsoft's problem. I can't explain why some of us have had our games just start working again (mine are still OK today), but that seems to be the case. For those still affected, hopefully it is fixed soon.

2017-07-10T16:00:57+00:00 Well. The point that I decided to reinstall MS Mahjong several days ago. Since uninstall I cannot get it from MS Store with Code: 0x803F8001 (last checked a minute ago). So maybe it works for you - but for me not because Store returns the error.
Well, hopefully it means they are in the process of fixing it, then. I developed this problem on 7/7 with Minesweeper and finally was able to re-install it just a few minutes before I posted. I'll keep an eye on things, but I hope this means they're rolling out a fix (which probably will take some time to affect everyone, I imagine?)

2017-07-09T10:27:05+00:00 Hi All -
Thank you for your patience.
We were able to check the issue and we managed to know the root cause.
Root Cause 1: Windows Store Data Base (SoftwareDistribution) not being configured
Root Cause 2: User Account Profile (Usually with MS account signed in with the account)
Here is a workaround:
METHOD 1:
1- Go to Settings> Account> Sign in With a local account instead and follow the prompt to finish setting up your local account then sign out to your PC.
2- Sign in with your local account> Please open Notepad and copy and paste the logs. Save as reset.bat Right click the batch file and choose Run as administrator.

2017-07-08T07:30:36+00:00 I have the same problem with Minesweeper, Mahjong and Jigsaw. Sudoku and Taptiles work ... for the moment.
I have the same problem when I use my account on different computers. I have no problem when I use different accounts on the same computer. So obviously a problem with some Microsoft accounts.
I did a Perfect in Minesweeper and Mahjong for 3 years in a raw, but if it goes this way, it will be the end.
