Microsoft Store updates too often

Check if you have windows updates pending install. I know you said it's up to date but double check anyway.

I found that Windows store often wont download anything when there are windows updates pending.

If your computer is up to date then try resetting the windows store.

Bring up the run box by pressing Windows Key + R then type wsreset.exe

Then try again.

There are also built in troubleshooters you can try too. Might be a good idea to run the troubleshooter for Windows update as well as the store

Also there is a service alert for the windows store so that too could be the cause

Unfortunately, I can't revert back before the update as I updated to 1909 on 12/25. I don't often go through the Microsoft store, so I'm only realizing this issue now after purchasing a game last night.

I understand the console needs to be updated and when you are an insider it updates often but Microsoft should make it possible to download the update in the background while using the console and then when you are finished and go to the home screen an
option should pop up to update the console now/ I am an Insider and all too often the second I turn on the console the download starts and I have to wait until the update is finished until I can use my Xbox.

Yeah, that's a nope from me, not interested in troubleshooting for something that has been reported many times by multiple people being that the app doesn't always work. But YOU have never had an issue so it must be all the other users like YOU that are the problem, right? I've got some advice for you, don't include [mod removed] like that in your replies.

If you want to actually do something maybe do a quick google (not bing lol) search of your own and you'll see how many people encounter issues, and then forward it to someone who can actually make a difference.

I can try rerouting your request to a Microsoft agent

But don't be upset if they ask you to share this feedback directly with Rewards team.

Take care!
