Reinstall an app
You can reinstall apps or games you’ve bought without paying for them again (as long as they're still available in
the Windows Store). To reinstall an app:
1. Open the Store app and make sure you’re signed in with your Microsoft account. (To see which account
you’re signed in to, open the Settings charm, then choose Your account.)
2. Swipe down from the top of the screen, and then tap Your apps.
3. Tap or click the apps that you want to install, and then choose Install.
For more info, see What happened to the apps on my PC? on Windows.com.
App updates
App publishers sometimes update their apps to add new features and fix problems. The Windows Store can
automatically install app updates when they become available. To make sure your apps get updated
automatically, do this:
1. From the Store app, open the Settings charm, then tap or click App updates.
2. Make sure Automatically update my apps is set to Yes.
You can also manually check for app updates at any time—tap or click Check for updates.
