Windows 11 microsoft store app updates are stuck on pending

Hi the app updates in the microsoft store are stuck on pending or installing, anyone got a fix for this? I have tried to repair the app and reset it. I have used powershell to remove it and bring it back. I don't want to reset my pc or install windows again.

    Hi Jsingh153 

     

    in my case I solved the issue disabling the use of Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS):

    Here are the steps to disable the use of BITS service:

    1. Press Win + R to open the Run dialog, type gpedit.msc, and press Enter. This will open the Local Group Policy Editor.

    2. Navigate to Computer Configuration -> Administrative Templates -> Windows Components -> Delivery Optimization.

    3. Double-click Download Mode in the right pane.

    4. Select Enable and set Download Mode to "Simple (99)" if you use Windows 11 or "Bypass (100)" if you use Windows 10

    5. Click Apply and OK.

    6. Restart your computer to apply the changes.


    After the restart the problem should be solved.
    Best Regards.
    Luca

    What worked for me was to reinstall Microsoft store.

    You can write this in CMD:

    PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage *WindowsStore*).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"
