    Microsoft Store infinite downloads and deleting unfinished downloads

    Hello,

    yesterday i tried to download the Forza Horizon 4 Demo. It said approximately 28.1 GB. So as i usually do on other platforms i hit the download button. As i hit the 28 gigs (written like 28.1GB of 28.1GB) it just started to count up simultaneously. I let
    it work a bit because i thought maybe there were some updates. Well, now I'm at over 50GB and it keeps counting.

    I wanted to reset the download, but somehow overview and easy access still ain't a thing in the microsoft store.

    I tried deleting the Store Cache, not working, tried to run Troubleshooting, not working.

    So is there a other way to get rid of unfinished downloads to restart it?
