Windows 10: Microsoft Store/Windows Update Downloading Insanely Slow

Hi, friends.


Let's start by saying that I've looked into a lot of questions from people in similar situations that I'm currently in and have tried a lot of fixes, but haven't come up with anything. I'm going to try and explain what I've done up until this point to the best of my knowledge to help somebody get a picture of what might be going wrong. My problem is that I'm attempting to download Minecraft from the Microsoft Store, and it's slow for lack of a better word After three hours, it's only downloaded 240 KB out of 100 some megabytes. It appears to not be downloading at all at times, and keeps resetting itself, calculating file size and so on. So, I tried to reset the Store through the Settings, but nothing happened. I used the WSReset, which also failed to fix the problem. I've done a few other things, but I've sorta lost track of what they were at this point. While I was searching, though, it appears correct me if I'm wrong, that the MS uses the Windows Update Agent to download and install data exclusive to apps from the store. So, I troubleshot everything, from the Windows Store failed to isolate problem, to the Updater stuck at pending restart. I tried to manually install some updates that we're scheduled to install and were also stuck downloading KB's every five minutes, and they went through, but they didn't fix anything. I checked my Firewall, it's good, started a clean boot to isolate any software clashes, nothing. SSU is up to date, I've deleted caches, and a lot of other stuff, so I'm unsure what the problem is. As far as I know, it was working up until an unknown point in time, so something might have corrupted and is hard to isolate. I can download anything else, including Steam games fine, it's just the Microsoft Store and the Windows Updates that get no love. Please help me! I just wanna play a silly little game about blocks.


Thanks!

Downloading is Slow from Store.

Hi Mihir,

Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.

From the description, I understand that Windows store downloads slowly.

Step 1:

I suggest you to clear Windows Store cache and check if it helps.

Follow the steps below:

• Press Windows logo key + R.
• Type wsreset.exe on Run window and press enter.
• Check if issue persists.

You may try the following steps and check:



Step 2:

Try to run the sfc scan and check if the Windows store downloads faster:

Run a System File Checker (SFC) scan to check for any file corruption.
SFC scan will scan for corrupt system files on the computer and repair them.

• Press Windows key + X, click
  Command Prompt (Admin).
• In the Command Prompt, type the following command, and then press ENTER:
  
  sfc /scannow

Hope this would help. If issue still persists post back with current status of your computer and result of the proposed suggestion, we’ll be glad to assist you.
