Microsoft Store not installing any apps, after clicking on Install button it is loading and again came to install button not moving to downloading process or installation process

Here is the solution that worked for me. In my case, my user account with admin privileges could not access C:\Program Files\WindowsApps.

I noticed that TrustedInstaller was the owner of the directory, so I took ownership. It solved several problems that I was having after installing numerous Windows updates that followed many months of only booting into my Linux partition.

An easy method to take ownership is as follows:

1. Add Take Ownership to the context menu
   first registry file in instruction: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/add-take-ownership-to-context-menu-in-windows-11.1230/
2. Take ownership of WindowsApps directory:
   Right click WindowsApps > show more options > Take Ownership (Took a minute)

Adding user permission alone might work. I don't know. I didn't try this. I'm not sure if there is a problem with this approach. TrustedInstalled still has permissions, and I am no longer having issues installing or removing applications through the Windows store or through installers.

If I run into problems in the future, I will address them here along with solutions if I find them.

Hi John,

I hope this message finds you well.

I got the same problem and I have tried everything you suggested but still not working.

I have no third-party VPN or anti-virus installed.

Which I have tried:

1, Sign out the Microsoft Store and sign back

2, Reset the Microsoft Store

3, Repair the Microsoft Store

4, Change the DNS setting, Using 8.8.8.8

5, Change the region to US

6, Change back the Region to Canada

7, Unselect SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and 1.1 , Select TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3

8, Change setting for Microsoft Store Install Service, change it to Automatic

9, Reinstall the Microsoft Store

Still unresolved, Can you help me with that please?

Thank you so much!

I hate microsoft advisors.... so useless.

So theres a bug with the Microsoft app store being integrated into windows,.......

what you want to do is

Hit windows key

go over to the name of your game

right click and press uninstall....

Your system has an issue with actually recognizing the 'uninstallation' when manually deleting folders.....
