How to speed up Microsoft Store downloads that are slow

Many of the users who use Windows 10 daily, with the passage of time and updates, have become accustomed to the use of the official store. We refer to the Microsoft Store, a site where we can purchase UWP applications for the operating system, both free and paid.

And is that like any other operating system that boasts of being one, it needs a good app store. That's something we can see for example in the case of Google Android , or iOS from Apple , you have two great solutions in this regard. But it must meet some almost indispensable requirements for it to be accepted by users.

In the first place it must have a wide availability of contents, to which it is necessary to add an appropriate distribution and interface , as well as a fluid operation. We must bear in mind that we talk about online stores, that is, that everything we buy here, we must download from the Internet . That is why in the event that this offers us connection failures, that is slow in downloads, it will be a hard obstacle to its success.

Therefore, this in something that on certain occasions we can find in the mentioned Microsoft Store, since it is not always as fluid as we would like. This is something that is especially evident when downloading a large UWP app , since it is eternalized. What we can do, if necessary, is to carry out some of the solutions that we are going to propose below.

Accelerate downloads from the Windows 10 Microsoft Store

The first thing to do is make sure we have Windows 10 properly updated. And is that an old version of the same operating system , can lead to a malfunction of the store . To ensure that this is not the case, we access Configuration from the "Win + I" key combination. Then we go to “Update and security / Windows Update”, to end by clicking on “Check for updates”.

Another of the possible solutions that we can use if the store runs slow in downloads, is to download, install and run the application to solve problems with applications, Microsoft official. This can be downloaded from this link , after which we have only to execute it and wait for the process to finish. Once it is finished, it only remains to restart the computer so that the fixes become effective.

If none of this works, another of the possible solutions is to make a complete reset of the store app. To do this, the first thing we do is access the Windows 10 Settings again , but in this case we access the “Applications” section. In the section on the left of the window, we stay in “Applications and features” so that all the ones installed in the system appear on the screen. We will have to locate the one that interests us in this case, which is none other than Microsoft Store .

When you click on it, we will see that a link called “Advanced Options” appears, where we click to go to the specific window of the store. Well, here we will no longer have to look for the “Reset” section, to click on the corresponding button to restart the store.
