Aug 29, 2017 I recently purchased an MS Surface Book and cannot download anything from the MS Store. This came about after MS did a Win 10 upgrade from 1607 to 1703. When I click on “Get The App” it opens a splash screen showing the MS Shopping Bag logo but it closes within a second. It happens with any “Get The App” button on any app download window.
Here is a teaser for the experts.
I recently purchased an MS Surface Book and cannot download anything from the MS Store. This came about after MS did a Win 10 upgrade from 1607 to 1703.
When I click on “Get The App” it opens a splash screen showing the MS Shopping Bag logo but it closes within a second. It happens with any “Get The App” button on any app download window. I have checked all the usual suspects as listed here.
I have restarted the laptop but that did not fix it.
I logged out and back in again and that did not fix it.
I tried WSRESET but that failed, the error said ““ms-windows-storePurgeCaches…the app did not start””.
I opened Control Panel then under “System and Security”, I clicked on “Fix Problems with Windows Update” and let it run. That did not fix it.
I tried resetting Windows Update by turning off Windows Update in services, renaming the Software Distribution folder, then restarting Windows Update in Services but that did not work either.
I have tried logging in using both my MS account ID and Password and also Locally, but neither of these allow downloads.
I tried using Edge, IE and Chrome, downloads did not work.
Any other downloads I try NOT from the MS store all work OK.
I did an on-line chat with MS and gave the tech control of my laptop. He tried all the things that I tried but he could not fix the problem either.
He opened a Ticket for me, the number is 13954952690 but when I checked yesterday the ticket was closed, Grrr….
The tech also said “I checked my further resources here and found out that there's an ongoing system maintenance for the store for the betterment of the service.” What the heck does that mean?
There is a download I need to get from the MS Store to configure a piece of hardware on my Win 10 laptop, but it also won’t download to any of my Win 7 PCs either as the store seemed to know I am not on Win 10 when I try.

Same here... all pending and nothing is downloading. Tried the wsreset multiple times, with complete reboot, to no avail. Is this issue being addressed?

I've tried all of the solutions posted in different threads, too. But none of em worked. Microsoft has to do something about this.

Me too,,,tried all kind of solutions (SFC, wsreset, disk scan, deleted SoftwareDist. folder...) no change! I'm getting tired of this...too many bugs, seems like a beta version of windows 10. I think I will go back to win 7 for now and wait until this version is stable.

This is what worked for me, msconfig> general tab> restart> everything started downloading right away. I hope this works for you. Good luck. Dale_570
