    I just built my first PC. It's the first PC I've had in years that can actually play modern games. Due to this fact I don't really have any graphically intensive games to test out on Steam. I do however own Killer Instinct, so I figured I'd try that out. I can't though. The option to download the game is grayed out, and it says the app is not compatible with my device. I looked at other games, and I can't download any of them. What's the deal with this?

    I ran wsreset, but nothing changed.

    I had that problem a while back.... and you aren't going to enjoy the news. For some reason Microsoft has decided that being COMPLETELY up to date on all your windows updates is a requirement for the store. Apparently the December update fucked things up for windows update and the only way to fix it is to run the Windows tool that repairs / reinstalls windows 10. THen you can download the latest updates.

    @monetarydread: My windows 10 downloads updates no problem? That's pretty shitty to force updates needed for the store, i have mine deferred for now but that's just another reason to add on to reasons to never use the windows store for anything.

    @oursin_360: Thats the problem, it's Windows 10 saying that everything is updated when there is a gang of shit left to download. Here is a link that explains the why and the hows better than I can. Its really not that big of a process, it took me 30 minutes of not using my computer and everything was fixed.
