I searched hours and hours for a solution to my problem. Was unable to download and install, but for a different reason. Reading the hundred Event Log messages the store generates i stumbled across this: “Failed to acquire XToken. Showing banner prompting user to sign in.” (but it didn’t show anything – app page was reloading after clicking the download button)

Logging out (inside the store) and re-login with the same account fixed the problem. Maybe you should include that in your list.

In reply to MissBiss.

By the by, it worked on my Windows 8.1. Will switch to 10 when I no longer care about living. And THANK YOU AGAIN !!!! …. Additional input for Windows 8.1: Right click on WSService, look for “Start” (there’s no “Start Service” on 8.1), click on that, check back if your apps stall or fail again and re-click if necessary.

In reply to duncan1959. WOW!!! Absolutely none of the 3000 fixes I've Googled and scrolled thru did squat, BUT YOURS WORKED!!! Thank you profoundly. It does require frequent refreshing, it seems to turn itself off as soon as I'm not looking, but who cares IT WORKED !!!!

Thank you so much. I am able to download apps from store in Windows 10. The problem was solved by using the 6th option-Reboot in Selective Startup mode
