  3. Icons from apps aren´t displayed correctly

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting your query at Microsoft community.

    Do the apps work fine apart form the icons not displaying correctly? If so I would suggest you to run an SFC scan and check if it helps. If the issue persists you may run DISM command and check.

    Follow this steps:


      • Press Windows+X.

      • Click on Command Prompt (Admin).

      • Type the command SFC /SCANNOW and
        DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth and hit
        Enter.
    Hope the information provided was helpful and do let us know if you need any assistance in the future. We will be glad to help.

    Download not working correctly

    Hello Kyle,

    Applications bought from Windows Store needs cache clearing if the downloading stops working after a period of time. We recommend that you run the
    WSReset command to clear the store app cache and reset it into a clean state. To reset the app, follow the steps below:

    • Press Windows + R to open run command.
    • Type WSReset.exe, then click
      OK
      .
    • Wait for the command to finish.
    After performing the steps above, download the game again and see if it will continue and finish.

    Let us know if this works for you.
