Upd 4 (01.03, 16:10): Xbox engineer Eden Marie commented on the situation following Xbox Support's latest statement about a bug fix. According to her, some players may still have a problem with the lack of wishlists, but Microsoft is unlikely to be able to fix it:
Thanks to everyone who reported the bug since yesterday. Unfortunately, at this point, if your wishlist hasn't been restored yet, I'm told it probably won't happen. I wish I had better news.
Upd 3 (29.02, 17:33): Official Xbox support says the wishlist issue should now be fixed for all players. If players added new projects to their wishlist while the bug was present, they will have to be added again.

We know that some players were still having issues with their Xbox Wishlist (following the previous bug fix announcement). Affected players' Wishlists have now been restored to the previous version before the bugs and should no longer be an issue.
If players added any items to their wishlist during the incident (February 23, 04:00 UTC – February 25, 21:00 UTC), those items will need to be added again. Thank you for your patience and happy gaming!
Upd 2 (28.02, 10:55): According to Eden Marie, who is an Xbox engineer, the problem was resolved on February 26th. However, how does she reported later, some players may still not see their original wish list of games. This happens if they tried to overwrite the information in the wish list during the crash. At this time, an Xbox spokesperson cannot say whether these players' original wish list will return.
Upd (26.02, 20:20): Xbox engineer Eden Marie said on social media that the issue should be resolved and wishlists should return.
Original news: In the Microsoft Store, players can create their wish list of games so as not to forget projects that interest them, and also be able to quickly notice price reductions for the games they want. This functionality was added to the Microsoft Store many years ago, and over the years, players have accumulated dozens of projects on their wish list (the maximum you can add to such a list is 301 games). But in recent days, many games have simply disappeared from their lists.
Players on Reddit are reporting that their wishlist for Xbox games has been completely removed. Several topics appeared on this subject in different subreddits, and they collected a huge number of comments from users who encountered this problem. It seems that the situation is really widespread, but at the moment the Xbox team has not commented on the problem on its official social networks.
Below you can see some of the comments from Reddit users who lost their wishlist of games.

Yes, this (clearing my wishlist) happened to me yesterday, but since I only had about 15 games on my wishlist, it was easy to re-add them. Then this morning I boot my Xbox again and the wishlist is deleted again. It follows weeks of problems with the store not always loading properly.

I have the same problem! Not only has the wishlist disappeared, but I also can't add new items to it.

I went to buy something that was on sale from my wishlist, and when I went to the deals section, I didn't see a column for the games that were on sale from my wishlist. I went to my wishlist and found it was empty. I quickly started filling it with what I remembered was there, but when I got out and came back to it again, it was empty again.
Many players on Reddit note that they have already contacted Microsoft about this problem, but there is no solution to the problem yet.
