    Windows Store not downloading


    Hi


    I just purchased Forza Horizon 4 and wanted to download it.. I had previously the same issue with Forza Horizon 3 - Where Windows Store simply wouldn't start downloading no matter what I try.


    Wsreset

    Disabling all startup services

    Deleting SoftwareDistribution folder


    - Nothing works.. Last time my last effort was to completely reinstall Windows - which finally worked.


    Now that's about 3 weeks ago, and I really don't want to reinstall Windows again everytime I have an issue with Windows Store.


    I have a license for various software which costs me money everytime I have to "renew a key/challenge" - which happens with every reinstall I do - So reinstalling again is out of the question.


    How can I download the game I just bought? Other things in the Store won't download either.


    It stops at "downloading" then suddenly it gets a few mb down without showing speed - then around 15 minutes later it maybe gets to 8mb.. Now that is going painfully slow.


    So what can I possibly do to fix this issue?


    I have 1000/1000 connection - a Ryzen 2600 - 32gb memory - 2,5TB SSD.


    Please help


    - A frustrated man..

    :)
