Windows 10: apps not downloading from microsoft store on new install of windows 10 pro

73 apps are queued and not downloading after the latest windows 10 was updated. The system was augmented with new hardware (ssd) but after windows 10 identified the system and all its updates and office 365 were downloaded and started working 7 days ago, none of the apps from microsoft store have completed downloading on new install of windows 10 pro. Windows 10 identified the new Os install with my earlier granted digital licence of windows 10 pro and updated without a hitch. Other minor dot net and securities updates are also not downloading


I have checked:

1. My broadband connection which which is giving 70 MBPS on a 100 mbps connection


2. Windows 10 pro license as above


3. tried downloading apps as earlier from outside the store but spotify, itunes, and others are just continuing in a pending state

https://prnt.sc/q8sa79 <-- Print screen showing the apps status (maybe apps were supposed to be part of the packaged windows10 installation and store is looking to unpack them? Office for example downloaded fresh as did One drive.


Let me know if something can be done.


Best regards

:)

Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."

Windows 10 installing progs

It's Microsoft pushing Apps from their Windows Store whether you want them or not. Even on a clean install you will have pending installation of Apps in the Tiles section (A great App awaits) when you click on the Start Menu. Same for me on Windows 10 Professional, ended up with Twitter, Facebook, Candy Crush, Microsoft Solitaire Collection, and some others I'm forgetting the name of. Facebook is a new one.
