Well I'll be dipped in gook. Why are App updates & downloads so terrible recently?? My PC is fast, including downloads from any other source. Everything else— fast—but Store App..? Yet when I click on Store app it stops like a goat on astroturf. Burning dayliught over here.. Why does interaction with MS Store app start to feel like you're aᴙguing with a wooden indian? I may as well go holler down a well. The frustrating thing is I've paid for a few apps & even get confirmation email that I've PAID. I mean it's starting to feel cᴙooked as a dog's hind leg but I'll try'n stay optimi

Plague Inc. is not downloading in windows app store but other apps do download.

It is just stuck downloading with no progress made. This is the first time I'm down loading this app on my PC. The troubleshooting steps that are suggested will not work because I downloaded an other app after I started downloading plague inc. and they are
troubleshoot suggestions for if nothing is downloading which is not the case.

Finally there are is no recent changes to my PC.

 

After downloading apps-download disappear (It did not show up the setup apps).

downloading apps

Hi George,

Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

I would like to understand the issue better, could you let me know

1. Operating system and edition of operating system you are using?
   
2. From where you are trying to download apps?
   

However you can try following steps to if you are using Microsoft store to download apps.

Step 1 :

1. Open RUN box by pressing
   windows + R button on the keyboard.
   
2. Then type WSReset.exe and click on
   OK.
   
3. Try to logging in to store with your Microsoft account.
   
4. Try downloading the apps.
   

Step 2:

1. Search for command prompt on
   Cortana search bar.
   
2. Right click on command prompt and click on
   run as administrator.
   
3. Type below command and press enter.
   
   Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
   

The above command will take some time and I would suggest you to wait until the process completes.

To know the edition of operating system,

1. Right click on This PC and click on
   Properties.
   

Hope it helps.
