    Windows Store not Downloading Updates


    I just upgraded my OS to Windows 10 from 8.1 a few days back, and the Windows Store is the only thing giving me issues at the moment.

    It shows the Progress Bar of the download but frequently it just stays at 0.0MB / ???? MB downloaded for the apps and doesn't move at all. I tried to clear the Windows Store Cache even the command prompt of sfc/scannow (sfc/scannow says no integrity violation) but still there was no progress.

    I tried googling for answers but none to avail as most of it are for windows 8.1. So if have any tips to solve it, it will be much appreciated. Thanks

    :)

  2. Windows 10 store updates not downloading, new store apps not downloading

    I'm having problems with the windows store as well. I really hope the store gets fixed sometime soon because it's seriously flawed. I'm trying to play games through it, I managed to download Forza Apex but now I cannot download anything at all in the store.
    No games or apps. It just says starting download and is stuck like that. I've tried rebooting, clearing store cache, troubleshooting windows update, bits and apps, nothing is working. I reset my pc last night and the store was working for a short time. I managed
    to download Forza then, now it's just as it was before. Very frustrating. I want to be able to play all the Xbox one games on the store and more that are coming in the future but if this is the kind of experience I'm going to have I'll just stay clear and
    only play on Steam and Origin. Microsoft seriously needs to get this fixed or it's going to fail like GFWL.

  3. Windows 10 store updates not downloading, new store apps not downloading

    Hi,



    Thank you for posting your query in Microsoft Community.



    I understand your concern, we will assist you to solve this issue.



    1) Are you able to perform other Internet related work on your computer?

    2) Are you getting any error message?

    3) Are you using the proxy settings to connect to the Internet?

    4) What was the recent change made to the computer prior to this issue?

    5) Are you using any third party security program in the computer?





    This problem may occur if one or more of the following conditions are true:

    • If the Windows Update database is corrupted.
    • If the Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) service does not receive a content link header.
    • If a required system file is registered incorrectly.
    Method 1: Disable Proxy Connections.

    If you are using any Proxy connection, then try disabling the proxy connection and check if you are able to connect to Windows Store.

    Follow the steps to disable proxy:

    A. Click the “Tools” button at the top right corner of the Internet Explorer, and then click “Internet Options”.

    B. Click the “Connections” tab, and then click “LAN settings”.

    C. Uncheck the option “Use a Proxy Server for your LAN”.

    D. Click “Apply” and “Ok” to save changes.

    Method 2:
    if you have installed 3rd party security application I would also suggest you to temporarily disable it and check if it helps.

    Anti Virus Disclaimer
    :
    Any data files that are infected may only be cleaned by deleting the file entirely, which means there is a potential for data loss.

    When you disable Antivirus:

    Important Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install
    other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.



    I highly recommend backing up all of your important files and folders onto an external storage device before attempting any type of OS repair or upgrade.



    Please do let us know if you need further assistance. We will be glad to assist.

  4. Windows Store not Downloading Updates

    Got the same problem and tried already several solutions, which are mostly applicable for Windows 8/8.1 btw.

    - Troubleshooter doesn't find anything wrong
    - Did delete several times the SoftwareDistribution-folder, after disabling the services (BITS, CryptSvc and Wuauserv) and enabling again
    - Disabled some services via msconfig and restarted, but also that didn't help.
    - Did even uninstall all McAfee-software (which was crap anyway)
