Hi,

I have a problem with my windows 11 pc where it doesnt download anything from the Microsoft store either it gets stuck installing at 1% forever or stuck at 100% saying reserving space. this goes for new download and updates.

I have restarted the pc multiple times, and done the wsreset too but nothing fixes this, i do have a stable connection too.

Does anyone know how to help this?

Hi,

If you have already tried basic troubleshooting, including resetting the Microsoft Store cache, but the issue persists, please try uninstalling and reinstalling the Microsoft Store.

Press Windows Key + X and choose Windows PowerShell (Admin). Copy and paste the command below and hit Enter.

Get-AppxPackage -Name "Microsoft.WindowsStore" | Remove-AppxPackage

Note: Please complete the process before proceeding.

After that, reinstall the Windows Store. Press Windows Key + X and choose Windows PowerShell (Admin). Copy and paste the command below, then hit Enter.

Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Wait 2 minutes, then reboot your computer and try again.

If that fails, the next step is to try System Recovery without deleting your files and apps.

Click the Start menu > Settings > System > Recovery.

Choose Reinstall Now under the section labeled 'Fix problems using Windows Update.'

Once completed, your system will restart. Please check afterward.
