Windows 10: Microsoft store is completely useless.

I baught a newer lenovo laptop with a dual core i3 and 12gb of ram..... Specs shouldnt matter, but apearently I need googles super computer just to install an app on this thing with the microsoft store. Befor hand, I couldnt get the MS store to download any faster than 600kbps when my connection is 100mbps. Did the whole wsreset a couple of times and got the speeds up to 5mb/s. But now all I can do is open the MS Store. I cannot click any buttons, select any apps, nothing. The second I click the dots to goto the store settings (which are useless by the way) the whole store locks up and all I can do I close it. This renders the Store useless, like completely and utterly useless.... The MS Store has NEVER worked and now all id does is open and freeze. Now I have a core i3 and 12 GB of ram, what in the actual hell is the problem here? Ubuntu has a software center and can run the OS AND the included software on a Pentium with 4gb ram. Like I would understand if I downloaded the MS Store electivly after I purchased the laptop, maybe then I could reason that maybe it's just too intensive. But this is a core component of windows, installed with windows and shipped on all machines with windows, how is it that it doesnt work? Ive looked at firewall settings, network adaptor settings, etc. to see if it was a throughput issue, but now I think its evident that its just the shotty software. I guess I ask two questions: whats the point of the MS Store if it wasnt designed to function as an app store? And does anyone have any advice that might explain what's going on and how to fix it? I mean like fix it fix it. Cause I'm to the point of giving up on this windows thing. I mean, who releases an OS knowing half of the user experience is broken?

Microsoft's 'One Store' takes a step towards completion

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.

Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.
