Windows 10: *RANT* The Windows Store is horrible

I am on the newest and completely updated version of Windows 10.

And nine out of ten times, it just ends with "Error" when I try to start downloading an app, and says nothing about why it failed (except for "Give us a few minutes", something went wrong on our end). This is infuriating.

I've tried everything. Registry hacks, settings, removing/disabling my 3rd party antivirus app, reading long guides online. Absolutely nothing (including a complete reinstall!) works.

The Windows Store is a complete and utter failure. Please get your act together on this one Microsoft, and FIX this issue. This is 2020.

(Sorry for rant, but this piece of shit needs to work, yesterday. I'm glad I haven't bought expensive games or other stuff through the store yet)

Windows 10 upgrade rant..

The free space shouldn't prevent you from upgrading to built 1607. I manually upgraded my own laptop which had only 9gigs free space left on the system drive.

I unzipped the Windows 10 Pro anniversary edition ISO on my D drive, and started the upgrade process from there. At one point the installer complained about not having enough free space on the main drive, i just had to point it to the D drive to proceed to the next step. Now the rollback installation is stored there and doesn't clog up the C drive anymore.

In your case you could insert a large sdcard to act as the required rollback drive, i'm pretty sure it would do the trick.

Oh and by the way, if you want to further compress your System files:

• do a search Command Prompt, right-click it, and select Run as administrator.
• Type COMPACT.EXE /CompactOS:always and hit Enter.

You'll will gain anything from 2 to 4 gigs free space after it's done.
