2026-02-03T12:07:03.1266667+00:00 Thanks, this is, I believe, a server issue in that case. Did you try changing the DNS server, or turning off VPN if any?
I’m eager to hear back and work together to find a solution.

but netword utilization shows 0% and Network I/O is fluctuating btw 5kbps to 50kbps
its not specific issue with microsoft store but i believe there is something blocking my network when i play any type of game so the network only goes to my game and nowhere else -

2026-02-02T11:51:47.25+00:00 Hi Bhav,
Lately, many people are reporting slow download speeds with the Microsoft Store.
Press Windows+R keys on the keyboard, or Right-click Start on the Taskbar and choose Run.
Type resmon.exe
Press Enter.
On the Network Tab, do you see any process taking network?
