Windows 10: Cannot Resume Microsoft Store Download

Hello, So here's the thing. I tried to download a game off of the windows store, it was about 70 GB. I downloaded like 35 GBs of it, but then my PC was being a little buggy so i decided to pause it, then restart my PC. When i booted back up, i couldn't find the option to resume download, i checked my storage and it was already taken my the thing i wanted to download. I searched online, tried some of the suggestion and it didn't work. I tried to 'Troubleshoot' it, do 'WSReset', use 'CMD', but nothing worked. I'm not the best with computers so i might be doing something wrong.

Windows store not resuming game downloads.

Yet more problems gaming with the windows store.....
Does anyone know whats going on now? I can begin a game download of possibly several hundred gigabytes but if i pause the download and restart the system the download vanishes from the downloading list of the windows store.

I then have to manually search the store for the game in question and choose to download it again, at which point if I get lucky i'll remember which hard drive it was installing to and can resume otherwise the whole thing begins to download again from the start.

I now have 10 or so games halfway downloaded on the system all taking up space on the hard drive yet because I can't remember which games these were I can neither resume the download or remove the partially downloaded files. I also have several games that I tried to resume but couldn't remember which hard drive the partial download was on so these games are now installed fully on 1 drive and also have hundreds of gigabytes of the same game halfway downloaded on other drives.

(win 10 pro, all up to date)

 

resume download program?

IE7Pro had a Firefox like download program, that you can pause as resume but only really useful for HTTP/ftp downloads
