Thank you for your prompt and helpful reply. Yes, I only have MS Defender and I also checked the permissions of the relevant Store package folders.

I did find a solution to what may be an Apple iTunes issue: I noticed that the version of iTunes was not in fact the latest (ie. MS Store failed to ever update it). I restored my partition back to 3 March (before the iTunes and massive MS patch updates). I then ran "repair" on the old iTunes, then updated it in MS Store; this took 2 attempts but now the issue seems resolved.

Thanks again and regards. M
