Windows 10: Sea of thieves stuck on "downloading sea of thieves..." for hours

other games normally display a Mb/s rate, but sea of thieves isnt giving any of this and the progress meter isnt going up. Ive tried reseting pc, deleting cache, reseting pc as it downloads as a workaround but nothing. Any help?

:)
