Do not do this. Microsoft Edge now unusable. Will not allow me to sign in to my account, show favorites, import favorites and will not allow me to close it. I think it is related to the minesweeper problem.
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.

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.

2017-07-09T10:37:35+00:00 Edge problem resolved by running Settings\Troubleshoot\Windows Store Apps. I still cannot run Minesweeper on my main PC nor on my portable.
