Windows 10 users are currently experiencing issues with the Microsoft Store, with the app unable to download and install apps and crashing after repeated attempts.
When attempting to download apps from the Microsoft Store, users are seeing a loading or frozen page.
When attempting to access various Microsoft Store features, such as the downloads section, the program will sit at a screen with a spinning loading symbol.
Eventually, the Microsoft Store will hang completely and can only be closed via Task Manager or by using ALT+F4 if the window is active.
When crashing, an error message is recorded to Event Viewer, which states that Windows Store is unable to interact with the operating system.
It is not known if this is planned maintenance activity, a problem due to Windows 10 cumulative update, or if Microsoft Azure networks is having issues.
