    WTF???Why does Microsoft feel they have the right to force my computer to shutdown and update itself without getting an acceptance prompt from me, the owner and user of the computer? I had work in progress and left it overnight. The next day I found that your invasive software update forced my computer to restart. How can that be justified when I never received or requested any prompt to allow it to restart?Get off your self-righteous asses and fix your update procedures. Don't update anything unless you get an acceptance response from the user. I don't feel like I should be able to stop off a

  3. Microsoft Windows update system destruction?

    Hi Brazilian,

    You can reset Windows apps, which clears their stored data and sets them back to default. Though this will clear your settings, you won’t lose any purchases or installed apps.

    Reset the Microsoft Store

    Press Windows key + I to open Settings and click Apps.

    Scroll the list and click Microsoft Store.

    Then click Advanced options > Reset.

    It will show a warning that the app’s data will be deleted, so click Reset again.

    If these steps didn't help.

    You can refer to the full and detailed guide to this link:

    Thanks and have a good day!
