I think I'll have to do a full format of my SSD, Holy shit, fuck Microsoft what the hell why are they always so damn shady? It even broke my PSO2 JP game client LOL.
@Shirokami07 I don't think you need to format it, you can just jump back to a system recovery point
yeah I've like 100 GB allocated to nothing there are no folders or anything
I don't get what is happening
Same here. The game doesn't start, repair, reset and uninstall is not working. This is ridiculous.

I'm having the exact same problem. Whether I attempt to launch, repair, reset, or uninstall, nothing happens. If I do it from the Start Menu, it doesn't even close. If I do it from Add & Remove Programs, it doesn't even remember that I was trying to uninstall it if I close and reopen the window. This started when I accidentally clicked "no" on the "Allow this program to make changes to your computer?" prompt.

My Microsoft Store never had an uninstall/repair/blahblah options. From Control Panel, the game isn't even shown as installed. Now I managed to force delete the pso2_bin 60GB folder, but it's recreating itself and I can't even delete these.
God damn privilege escalating worm malware lol.

It doesn't show in control panel. Go to Settings>Apps & features in windows.
Uninstalling from there doesn't work either. If you try, a progress bar appears, but nothing happens and if you go back to Apps & Features it's gone.
To update permissions and gain ownership of the WindowsApps folder on your PC:
This should give you complete access to WindowsApps folder.
