Windows 10: Waiting 2 Hours as Microsoft Photos App and Store App download is "pending"

This has occurred several times, and each time I give up and turn to pursue other tasks. What is wrong with Microsoft, and their apps are not downloading? Everything else is fine, and downloading no problem. I paid for these to be included with my bundle, but what's their problem? Thanks for send a working link for Microsoft Store Windows 10 Edge Browser and then a working link for Microsoft Photos Windows 10 Edge Browser, because the app download within the store app had not been working, either. It remains stuck on "pending". My internet connection is fine, and as I said, everything else downloads just fine. Thanks so much. send working not-defective-links which freeze on "pending" for hours, links to *** Email address is removed for privacy *** Thanks, respectfully...Best...r-

Microsoft is purging a lot of low quality apps from the Windows Store

"Microsoft is sending emails to some Windows Store developers informing them that their apps have been removed from the Store for violating its quality standards."

"Neowin reports that app developers have been receiving these emails over the past couple of days:

In its latest review of the Store, Microsoft is evaluating if the published apps are good enough to be listed in the Windows Store. This includes publicly available apps as well as private beta apps. Additionally, Microsoft is also asking developers to delete any promotional campaigns for their apps to prevent advertising charges. Similarly, app name reservations are also being nullified; which means that if your app is unpublished, there's no guarantee that you'll be able to republish it under the same name.

Officially, the policies for the Microsoft Store says that apps must have "distinct and informative metadata" and "provide a valuable and quality user experience". There are also some specific standards that must be in the apps, including having a name that is not similar to another app or device, along with offering a description that is accurate about its features and functions.

There have certainly been many Windows Store users who have complained over the years about the large number of apps published that are clones of other apps or ones that are simply poorly made. Hopefully, this new move by Microsoft will help to curb these issues, at least for now."

Missing apps: Store, People, Photos, Games & Camera on upgrading to 10

Thanks for replying spunk. That's the 'alphabetical' list I was referring to, none of these apps are in that 'All apps' list. Any more suggestions?
