    Hi all,

    When I try to download an app from windows store, it simply gets stuck on "downloading". No errors, everything seems fine, just the download bar is always empty (so the download is at 0% forever). Any solutions? Thanks!

    I had a few times when it gave me problems. Ten minutes later it was fine again. I assumed it was bursts of high traffic as the service got off the ground and a bunch of people were trying new stuff all at once.
