Now on every single PC I own it's just a completely unusable mess that half the time just deletes a game at random. Like seriously, I understand a digital store has to be something complex to create, but why the fuck does it feel that it breaks further as time goes on? Like, it worked 'fine' on Windows 8. Trying to install Streets of Rage 4 took me literally 1+ hours of troubleshooting because the damn store didn't load, and then once I fixed that the game would refuse to start the download.

There are times where the store just refuses to work.

Whether it will actually download and install is also left to some mayan sacrifices or whatever Microsoft's method of fucking you over is.

God forbid a game has extra DLC to download.

It's not my internet either, Steam always downloads at full speed no matter what.

Maybe it'll start fast and gradually slow down, it makes zero sense whatsoever.

Download speeds are also left to an RNG god.

My Forza Horizon 4 install is fucked right now after updating Gears 5 Yes, 'a game', not even only the one I'm updating. While sometimes it works well, other times it can simply randomly decide to fuck up the install of a game and force me to reinstall it.

Updating a game might as well be playing a round of russian roulette.

It's utterly bizarre to me that a company the size of Microsoft can't for the life of them make a functioning store for the OS that 400 million people are using monthly. I can't think of a single piece of software in my PC right now that is more faulty than the Microsoft Store besides the Xbox Game Pass app, which is tied to it anyways.

Or well, most of it is at least, because Microsoft has this little thing called the Microsoft Store which is just. Windows 10 is not beyond being glitchy at times, but it's still overall a snappy, perfectly usable product.
