Windows 10: Microsoft App Store on my Win11 laptop stuck downloading an app for 2 weeks

As the title says, My brand new, bought 2 weeks ago, laptop has been trying to download an app specifically widget launcher for two weeks. It sounds like an exaggeration but I promise it has. No matter if I force stop it, repair it, restart my laptop, terminate it, etc. I tried to download it the day I picked up my laptop and its been trying since. I am on my laptop for hours at a time because I am a student so it has all the time in the world to download.

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 Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.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."
