I will put the instructions below:
A reinstall is done by:
- Make sure you have a copy of your Keycode
- KEEP the computer online for Uninstall and Reinstall to make sure it works correctly
- Download a Copy Here (Best Buy Subscription PC users click HERE)
- Uninstall WSA and Reboot
- Install with the new installer, enter your Keycode and do NOT import any settings: you can set it up as you like once it's done
- Let it finish it's install scan
- Reboot once again
