Windows 10: Microsoft Store stuck at Pending on Windows 11

Whatever I try, I cannot get MS Store to download any apps. I have tried running the wsreset.exe command. I have reset the Store, cleared the cache. I have uninstalled, reinstalled, signed out and in. Even tried changing the languages etc. Nothing seems to work. Whatever app I download gets stuck on pending. Any app I try and updated gets stuck in an infinite spinning loop. Wired internet connection, 500Mbps down.I am going crazy here. I just want WhatsApp for desktop!!!

Microsoft store stuck on pending

Yesterday the Microsoft Store was stuck on pending so I reinstalled Windows 11 and half a day later it looks like it's stuck on pending again.

I'm not reinstalling every time the store breaks. I guess I'll just hope the next Windows 11 update fixes it.

Yes! Yes! Yes! I have found the solution a little bit typical but it will save you from resets and losing your data.

STEPS

1. Select update all in downloads and updates in store in windows 10 mobile phone.

2. Let them start downloading .

3. Now select pause all in same menu.

4. This time you will get two option in front of all apps resume and cancel even on those apps which are stuck.

5. Now cancel the every app from list by clicking on cross one by one.

6. Now you have got empty download list but still you will see stuck apps in phone's app list at pending.

7. Again open the store and search there for the same app which is stuck on your phone.

8. Click on install on app page in store and wait.

9. A pop up menu will come written something went wrong just close it and keep waiting on same page.

10. Now the final step app will start downloading automatically and what you have to do is just click on cross when it comes.

11. BINGO! App has been removed from your app list no hard reset no lose of data just a little patience is required i have found the solution myself because i was sailing in same boat.
