Store apps cannot be installed

clayto · 16 Jan 2018

The Fall update restored the Store which I had been without for some months. However, most (not all) of the apps I have tried to install from the Store fail to download. At the moment I have about a dozen apps listed as Pending or Failed despite repeated attempts. Every day the I get a notification saying the Store has tried and failed with a handful of apps.

I have used the troubleshooter, resetting the cache, and a powershell command.

I doubt it’ll help but have you gone into settings and found your apps list. Click store and then choose reset. I’ve had a few apps in the past get fixed simply by resetting them. It may nudge the store into action. It’s very fragile the store and the associated native apps. I always hold my breath when the store or one of those apps update (which seems to be far too often!)
