Microsoft Store free apps

Hello,

Corrupted system files can cause issues when downloading applications from the Microsoft Store. However, for us to provide you the most appropriate assistance, can you provide us the exact error message that you're getting?

As an initial troubleshooting step, we suggest that you reset the Microsoft Store cache and try to download applications again. Check out the steps below:

• 
  Press Windows + R keys to open the run command box.
  
• 
  Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft Store and sign in.

  Once done, try to download applications.
  

We'll wait for any updates to assist you further.

 

Unable to download app from Microsoft Store

It seems that this is a Chrome issue. Have you tried resetting Chrome?



On the other hand, we suggest that you open Microsoft Store app instead of opening Store through Chrome. The following are steps on how to open Microsoft Store on Windows 10:

• To open Microsoft Store on Windows 10, select the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar.
• If you don't see the Microsoft Store icon on the taskbar, it might have been unpinned. To pin it, select the Start button, type
  Microsoft Store, press and hold (or right-click) Microsoft Store, then choose More > Pin
  to taskbar.
• If Microsoft Store won't launch, get more info at Microsoft Store does
  not launch.

Regards.
