Windows 10: New Store App Bug

FWIW, I have the new Icon and just checked the store and updated Solitaire. Usually it's me that these things happen to.

 

I rarely see a positive sentence containing the words Microsoft and QA! Is it really asking too much to run through the basic Store options and check they work? I have the same problem on another old PC on which I just clean installed Windows 7 then upgraded to Windows 10 Pro. I have 3 PCs all showing the same problem.

 

They do do QA- it's just the feedback loop extends a lot further- to its major customer base.

 

Yes, you would think having released an app update that before releasing it they might have a checklist of things to ensure still work. Basic functionalities of the app. Does it open - check. Can you buy something still - check. Can you update an app - check. Can you search - check. Do the links on a front page work - oops no it doesn't work. Tell you what we'll just release it anyway.

Anyway, I hope it does cost them £££ or $$$, the store and their native apps are lousy inferior counterparts of proper desktop software and should not be anywhere near a serious computer/desktop OS.

 

Wonder how they are going to fix this bug...if you can't open the store, how will you get app updates?

 

App updates are scheduled- automatic. And you can still access the manual check button.

 

I can't access the manual check button - the store doesn't open at all for me.

 

That's a different problem- can I suggest you start your own thread? Also if you search the forum for e.g.
