  1. Other apps and basicly whole computer slows down when downloading large files.


    Hi, I am having this issue where my other apps and basicly my whole computer slows down to a halt when I am downloading large files like a game . I think my computer is giving these bulk network packets priority, because, for example, my discord basicly stops. And the rest of the apps become unresponsiveDoes someone maybe know if this is fixable or diagnosable?Thanks in advance!

    :)

  3. 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.

    Download speed is slow when downloading apps from the Store

    Hi Elijah,

    A few possible reasons can cause slow download speed when installing apps. To help us identify the cause of this issue, we would like to know the following information:

    • Do you also experience slow connection when browsing the Internet using Edge?
    • What is the make and model of your phone?
    • What troubleshooting steps have you tried so far?

    Looking forward to your reply.
