When I start up the game it tells me to press any button to start. I press a button and then it tells me to insert the disk and press continue. I don't have a disk because I purchased the premium Deluxe Edition online it's bought-and-paid-for it says the game is installed but everytime I press continue it just pops up again please insert disc.

    Possible resolution I've discovered. If you have a machine that was provided by an OEM (HP, Dell, etc.), it's possible that they've put your network connection into the "Public" domain (Network Profile) rather than "Private". If you click on your WiFi icon in the system tray, find your active connection and click properties, the screen that appears will allow you to change it from Public to Private. Once I did this, I was able to get past this without having to disable Windows Defender Firewall or the Real-time Protection antivirus setting. 

    If anyone could try this and let me know if it resolves your issue, it would be appreciated. Of course I'm not 100% certain that this one setting is what fixed my issue or not, but if this does resolve it, others will be able to benefit and Microsoft can add it to their list of recommendations for their Store troubleshooting page.

    Thanks!

    try turning off your firewall (either windows defender or in my case bitdefender). I did both so not sure which one offered solution.

    I have updated to 2004 and still no luck. Microsoft have issued my refund within 24 hours of request. Now downloading via steam and its installing fine so far. Good luck everyone.
