I'm struggling to reactivate my Debut on my Windows 11 after recovering my microsoft account. NCH said it should automatically reload, but it's not doing so. Microsoft seems to have merged my two Microsoft accounts, and one interchanges with the other. Can anyone help? Thanks.

Hi ProfPAS,

I understand how frustrating this can be, especially after recovering your Microsoft account.

To narrow this down, could you confirm:

  • Did you originally buy Debut using one account or the other?
  • When you open Microsoft Store > Library, do you see Debut listed there?

In the meantime, please try these steps:

1, Confirm the correct account in Microsoft Store

  • Open Microsoft Store
  • Click your profile icon > verify you are signed in with the same account used to purchase Debut

2, Reset the Store cache

  • Press “Windows + R”
  • Type “wsreset.exe” > press Enter
  • Wait for the Store to reopen

3, Sync and reinstall the app

  • Open Microsoft Store > go to “Library” > select “Get updates”
  • If Debut appears, reinstall it from the library

4, Run the Store troubleshooter

  • Go to “Settings” > “System” > “Troubleshoot” > “Other troubleshooters”
  • Run “Windows Store Apps” (if applicable)

These steps are commonly used to resolve license sync issues in the Store.
