Windows 10: Microsoft store freezes and i cannot update the apps

Hello from Greece.

Recently i discovered that that my apps cannot be updated, and i cannot download any new apps from microsoft store, it just stays at "download pending" and then the store freezes.

I've tried

msreset.exe - nothing

clearing cache - nothing

stopping services and renaming softwaredistibution folder - nothing

Troubleshooter does not find any problems with my system.

sfc/scannow - nothing.

Dism command lines - nothing.

i cannot even log out from MS store, it just shows the cursor moving around (the busy icon) - nothing.

I've created another account - nothing, the same problems.

Windows are up-to-date. (and a legit copy,not precracked etc)



Any other solutions? i've read that the last option is to do a repair installation but i do not have the time to do that, not now not in the near future.

is there a way to update store and other apps offline? from my search there is not much to do.



Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance

Chris.



OS: Win 10 x64 pro v1909.

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 Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.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