Frequently Asked Questions
Why can't I see my purchased apps in my Microsoft Order History?
You might be signed in with a different Microsoft account. Double-check that you are using the exact email address that was used to complete the original purchase.
How do I download an app after finding it in my purchase history?
While your order history displays your purchases, you will usually need to open the Microsoft Store app on your device, sign in with the same account, and navigate to your 'Library' to initiate the download.
Can I view my subscription renewal dates from the order history page?
To view active subscriptions and upcoming renewal dates, you should navigate to the 'Services & subscriptions' tab within your Microsoft account dashboard rather than the standard order history page.
