Windows11 Microsoft Store download progress bar stays at 0% when updating Store apps

Because Store eventually finishes after pausing and resuming, this may be a progress-display or cache problem rather than a slow connection. Open Microsoft Store > Library and select Get updates, then install Windows updates and restart. Confirm the download is moving by checking Network and Disk activity for Microsoft Store in Task Manager; do not cancel it because the bar shows zero. If there is no activity for several minutes, press Windows+R, run wsreset.exe, and wait for Store to reopen. Next open Settings > Apps > Installed apps > Microsoft Store > Advanced options, choose Repair, and test. Use Reset only if Repair fails, because it clears Store’s local data. Verify Windows date, time, region, and the signed-in Store account. Test without a VPN or metered connection. If multiple devices show identical behavior, check Microsoft service health and report the Store and Windows builds through Feedback Hub
