Windows Store downloads PAINFULLY slow

I installed Windows 8 Pro (final version) on an Oracle VirtualBox and everything works well EXCEPT downloading things on the Microsoft Store. When I started the store, he said that I had to update the 15 applications (the ones provided with Windows, I think) and I told him to go ahead.  The next screen came and it showed the 15 apps (things like photos, people, etc.) with a progress next to each bar. Under the progress bar, he said "pending."  After about 5 minutes, many of the indicators of State went to «Couldn't...» "and several"download. "  After SEVERAL HOURS (I'm logged on the corporate LAN that works normally about 10 MB for downloads), SOME of the itmes finished and some went to an error state.

That is what it is?  Why is this happening?  The Microsoft Store is BACK ' ed?  IE 10 on Windows 8 works fine without any problem of speed.

Thank you

Owen

Hmmm I just disabled my wired Internet (on the virtual machine) and don't have my connection wireless enabled (Windows 8 thinks it's a wired connection)...

In any case, it was a little slow, but all applications downloaded and installed.

What could be the problem with the connection to the LAN does not not for downloads from app store?

TIA,

Owen

  • Windows Store apps download / update apps stuck in State waiting

    Original title: windows store 8 can be walked, but can not download applications

    Everything is great, until you are in store for the app that you want to download, but as soon as you select an application and click on install, the installation screen appears with the activity report of the applications queued for installation (in the waiting/download) and that's it. I can't download a single app, not even a simple pacman after waiting for 20 minutes. most of the time that the status is stuck on "pending", when the application starts downloading, it just gets stuck after that a little Chuck is downloaded.

    My internet connection is working perfectly, all pre-installed applications work fine, but I could not update or install applications.

    I recently bought a new laptop from windows 8, not upgraded to windows 7 (read some discussions and answers where store does not open in this case.)
    Help, please.

    I found this on another thread on the same topic. It's the same solution Pinaki is suggesting, but using the prompt instead of the graphical interface of Windows. It worked for me. Post here where everyone thinks that they are useful.

    1. Open an administrative command prompt (go to the start screen, type 'cmd', right-click on command prompt and press "Run as Administrator")
    2. Type the following commands to four in the command prompt:
    3. net stop wuauserv
      CD %SystemRoot%\System32
      Ren C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution SoftwareDistribution.old
      net start wuauserv
    4. Try to install updates again.

  • Unable to connect to the Windows store to download the Windows 8.1 update

    I am trying to download the Windows Installer on Windows 8 8.1 update.  The Windows store, I click on "Get the free update".  Then I get a screen saying "your PC is not connected to the internet.  Connect you to the internet and try again."  My PC is certainly connected to the internet and all other functions involving the internet are functioning normally.  I checked to make sure that all Windows 8 updates are installed.  And I ran every convenience store network that I can find.  All to nothing does not.

    Hello

    It looks like the problem just from Store and ' not your internet connection or adapter.
    You should try to reset your Windows store.
    I know that is not your internet problem, but disabling and re-enabling your computer WiFi is worth giving a try. In addition, you can restart your wifi modem, it might be useful.
    To reset your Windows store:
    • Open Start, and then type wsreset.
    • This will reset your store.
    • Now open your store. You will see the shop saying 'Windows Store a reset' or something like that.
    • You have successfully reset your Windows store.
    Go home, try to restart your windows 8.1 update.
    Please mark this question as answer if it helps.
