Nothing ever downloads and installs on Microsoft Store.

Uninstall third-party firewall and antivirus software.

Completely Uninstall Avast software using aswClear.exe:

1. Download aswClear.exe on to your desktop
2. Start Windows in Safe Mode
3. Open (execute) the uninstall utility
4. If you installed avast! in a different folder than the default, browse for it. (Note: Be careful! The content of any folder you choose will be deleted!)
5. Click REMOVE
6. Restart your computer

Reset Windows Firewall to find out if the problem resolves.


Sometimes you might be able to fix the problem with Windows Store simply by resetting Windows Update services. Open the Command Prompt by typing cmd.exe into Start Menu, right-click on Cmd.exe, and open it as an administrator.

1. When Command Prompt starts, run the following commands:
   • net stop wuauserv
   • net stop bits
   • rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
   • net start wuauserv
   • net start bits

After doing that, try to start Windows Store again and check if the problem with Windows Store games is still there.
