    It seems seriously wrong to require that you be the sole provider of applications for machines running your OS yet have a system where delivery of those applications is so painfully and ridiculously slow. Yes, Microsoft Store is a delivery disaster....seriously bad.I've read all the other posts for this...and there's A LOT of them, regarding this problem, which is a problem, and also the alleged solutions only to find that there's apparently zero success in any of the solutions.By the time it took to download MyWhoosh from the MS store I could have done a full hour ride on Zwift. It's that bad

  3. Microsoft store painfully slow/unstable and not showing my device

    Hi grateful for any help here.

    1. Symptoms
      1. I bought a new PC and when setting it up followed MS suggestion to restore settings from previous PC. Windows 11 - all updates applied
      2. The PC/WIn Updates are good but Microsoft Store has been painfully slow (<1kbs compared to 80+Mbs for all other services)
      3. Occasionally says "acquiring licence" and has constantly spinning wheels when downloading. One minute apps say "Modified yesterday" - then next time I go in it gives different status
      4. Some apps eg iTunes show a cloud icon but when i try to download again they get stuck as slow
    2. What i've tried with no success
      1. I've performed wsreset a number of times
      2. Followed instructions with Powershell to re-install the store and apps
      3. Also removed the Store Cache
      4. Logged out, then back into Windows Store
      5. Used the Windows troubleshooter - does not show issues
      6. I've set the delivery optimisation off (to allow 100% bandwidth)
      7. In desperation performed both a reset of Windows, then finally a clean install and problem persists
    3. I've gone from Microsoft Store to Manage devices
      1. My device is shows as registered under Windows devices
      2. It does not show up under Microsoft Store devices
      3. I've tried changing computer name back to old PC (since decommissioned) and back again - I only have 2 devices shown under WIndows Store and removed reference to old devices no longer used
      4. Unhelpfully, Microsoft Store keep popping up message to say Games Pass trial free - which it was more than happy to do (and will happilly take my money) though it doesn't even show now in Store !!!
    4. I suspect the slow speed may be related now to the fact my device not showing as registered with WIndow Store
    Any help appreciated - spent days on this. My other devices/laptop linked to my Microsoft account all behaving themselves and downloading updates (quickly) from Store.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions
