Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Birch_JB, do not know which Windows uses 10 or 11, and it is difficult to know if this is related to the App or to Forza itself, the ideal would be to contact forza support.

Hello, My name is Jesse. I'm an Independent Advisor and a member of the Microsoft community and I'd love to assist you today.

Let the update finish since you've already started it as stopping it now might lead to missing files which you don't want. After the update is complete, then try ro repair the Microsoft store.

Clear the Microsoft Store cache

1. Press the 'Windows + r' keys and type 'wsreset.exe' (without the quotes)

2. An command prompt window opens and then closes after approximately 10 seconds.

3. The Microsoft Store then opens automatically. Check if it works properly again.

To reset it:

1. Open the settings by pressing the Windows + i keys

2. Go to Apps> Applications and features.

3. Select the Microsoft Store application and then click Advanced Options.

4. Click the Reset button.

5. Confirm the reset by clicking on Reset again.

6. Go back to the Microsoft Store and check if it works properly again.

Run troubleshooter

1. Open Settings again (Windows + i)

2. Go to Update & Security> Troubleshooting.

3. Select Windows Store Applications and then click the Run Troubleshooter button.

4. The utility will launch and check for problems that are preventing the Microsoft Store from functioning properly. If it detects anomalies, follow its recommendations.

5. When the problems are resolved, close the utility.

6. The store and updates should work properly again.

Hope this helps

I personally play everyday. Yet everytime there's a new update my console will be stuck saying updating with no progress on cod. After a very long time it will show such a big update that it's like I'm reinstalling the entire game. Every single new update this happens.

Same Issue. Ever since the Xbox UWP app got updated, it now forces Ubisoft Connect to open every single time it does. Yes, there are workarounds as mentioned above, but this shouldn't need to happen. Please fix this ASAP Xbox UWP app team.
