Microsoft Store won't download (or EXTREMELY slow to perform actions)
Hi. I'm using Win10 21H2. all latest updates.
My Microsoft Store app, (also applies to Xbox GamePass for PC), has an issue where when I attempt to download any app or game, it gets stuck on "Pending'' for a very long time, sometimes eventually (perhaps hours later) advancing to "Installing" where it will stay on that stage for just as long. The app may install over time, sometimes as long as a day. It seems to be some kind of connection issue.
I have tried removing/reinstalling MS Store.
Resetting the MS Store
Clearing & Resetting the MS Store cache
The MS Store works fine on other PC's in the house. I'm pretty sure it's something I've screwed up via a tweak or setting over time. My HOSTS file is clean/empty.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. As it is, i can't download anything from the store or any games on GamePass.
