Installing Microsoft Store in Windows 10
Method 1: Using troubleshooting
Let's start with the simplest method, gradually moving to less efficient and complex. Using the automatic troubleshooting tool does not always bring due results, but with its launch any user will cope, so it is necessary to make it first.

Method 2: Disable limit connections
Sometimes the operating system automatically sets limit connections, for example, if the tariff plan of the Internet is limited. If Windows considers that the limit is about to end, the downloading of applications will be prohibited. In the case when you are confident that this option can be disabled or do not need it at all, follow these steps:
- In the same menu "Parameters" go to the "Network and Internet" section.
- Through the left panel, move to "Using Data".
- Select the network for which the parameters should be displayed, and then click "Set the Limit".
- Check the marker "without restrictions" and save the changes.
Unable to restart Windows, and then proceed to re-attempts to download applications.
Method 3: Microsoft Store Reset
Sometimes the Windows Store WINTOVS works incorrectly, which will only be able to understand the full reset through the built-in functionality of the operating system. This method is not always effective, but easy to implement, therefore it is in third place.

Reset settings will not take much time, but after it is highly recommended to send OS to a reboot to update the parameters. Then try to reload the applications, and if it cannot be done again, read the following methods.
Method 4: Checking the download queue
Sometimes even after reset, some applications remain in the download queue, but for some reason they are not loaded or this operation does not start automatically. Then the download of other programs will be blocked, so you should check the list itself.
- In the search through the "Start" menu, write "Microsoft Store" and launch the application.
- Click the three horizontal point button and select "Download and Updates".

Now you can get acquainted with the list of downloads that are in the queue. If there is some kind of software, completely clear the list by clicking on a specially designated button, and then start the new download of the required application.
Method 5: Re-authorization

- Use your standard login authorization data.
- Confirm the identity by entering the PIN, if necessary.
Method 6: Setting the latest Windows updates
At times, loading applications from Microsoft Store is not available, because in the download queue is a system update for Windows 10. In the other situations, the store refuses to work just due to the lack of last updates, so the problem will have to correct, establishing the latest files.
