Windows 10: Microsoft Store randomly pausing download and says "Error"

So basically I'm trying to download Sea Of Thieves on PC and it's been around 3 hours since I started and only 14 GB has downloaded, why? You may ask.

Well, it just randomly pauses the download and says "Error" literally nothing else, no error message, just "Error".

("Błąd" roughly translates to "Error")

This error does absolutely nothing, rather than pause my download since it's progressing but I need to resume it at random periods of time, which is really, REALLY annoying. The time between the Error is literally random. Once it happened 6 seconds after resuming, and once after 10+ minutes.

That's what happens when I resume it:

The blue bar appears a couple of seconds later and downloads normally until the error appears sometime later.

Please help.

Microsoft Store downloads are extremely slow and keep pausing.

Hi,

I've recently purchased Forza Motorsport 7 on the Microsoft Store.

I just checked my internet download speed and it is a stable 50mbps.

While downloading the game on Microsoft Store, I can not get faster than 15mbps.

This means the game will take over three times longer to download than what I expected.

That isn't my main problem though. For some reason the download keeps pausing constantly every minute. Each pause lasts at least 10 minutes before the download continues again. During each pause, the download sometimes says "Finding Product Files".

I have had the download running for 1 hour and have only managed to download 170 MB out of 99 GB. This is unacceptable. Is there anyone who can help me out?

By the way, I have already tried all steps from this answer with no improvement: Microsoft Store Download Speed Painfully Slow
