Have you noticed an issue with Microsoft Store updates on your Xbox console lately? In our experience, the store says it needs an update, but then takes a while to start and gets stuck at 100% for ages. If you've suffered the same thing, we've got some good news to share - the Xbox team is aware of the problem and is rolling out fixes for it.
Tucked into the latest Xbox Alpha Skip-Ahead patch notes for Xbox Insiders is the confirmation that various "fixes" are being rolled out to prevent Microsoft Store updates from getting stuck at 100% in the future.
"Fixes to address the Microsoft Store getting stuck at 100% when updating/installing."
We've seen a few Pure Xbox readers mentioning this in recent days and weeks, so it's good to know Microsoft is on the case. Keep in mind that only some Xbox Insiders will get these fixes for now, and they'll roll out to everyone eventually.
Some of the other areas that Xbox is targeting at the moment include a cursor showing up in certain titles for no reason, fixes to address mouse clicks not behaving as expected, and an issue causing unintended steering wheel vibration. If you want to keep up with the latest Xbox Insider improvements, the release notes for all Xbox Insider categories are regularly updated on the official Xbox website, and we try to cover the most notable ones here!

This has been an issue since forever, I'm glad they are fixing it but damn, I can't believe it took them this long to do it.
I thought the most an annoying thing was having 20(hyperbolic) entries in the store for the same game but different editions instead of them all being filed under one?
I have had this issue for a long time.
Interesting as I never seen this happen but it looks like I am the exception and not the rule
So nice to see this finally fixed!
I like the Xbox dashboard a lot, I really do, but I have had far too many issues like this. In addition to this one (which has been a problem for far too long) I also have issues sometimes when downloading an app.
Sometimes it won't start downloading, I have to go back and hit download multiple times, then it will start and sit for ages at the top of the queue not actually downloading. Then it will start and not finish for ages, I mean hours.
Ive had this on both my XSS and XB1X recently. Drove me mad as it messed up two nights chilled plans! One night was let's watch a DVD and the One X wouldn't/couldn't download the damn Blu-ray app. I tried restarts and everything, it just sat there. Another night it was one of the streaming apps on my XSS (can't remember which one), it did exactly the same thing. Grrrr
Anyone else had this?
It happened to me. Also a "99 games in your wishlist are on sale" notifications.
Lately? This issue has been going on for well over a year.
@Jimboss well there's a difference between shutting it off with your controller by going to that menu and shutting it off by pressing the xbox button on the console down.
You should try the latter once, you'll hear like a confirmation beep and your fans should stop directly.
Nice update, now just put all the Ad’s in the store and get them off our homepages and we are golden. Would easily be the best ui without the Ad’s. I like super sleek and minimalist UI’s. Bloat is just awful.
You think being the major software company things like this would not happen or get fixed in a day.
I still think most developers are still suffering after covid and I think working from home and staff taking advantage.
We definitely have some taking advantage where I work for sure and that’s only about 1100 personnel.
Why has it taken them so long, was even happening on my xbox one s digital and on my xbox series s!
@JetmanUK This happened to me with Edge, VLC and OneDrive apps, many times to be honest
Count me as one of those affected by the issue. Yea, it's pretty annoying. Not really think it did much other than being an annoyance though.
So Microsoft need Activision Blizzard to fix this?
@aria10000
LOL. Friday right after all the papers were signed AKB asked what they could do to bring value right away. Phil said, fix this really annoying store issue please. And before the end of the day the patch was out!
@NeoRatt $69 billion well spent 👍
@Markatron84
The $69 bln bug fix!
One of MANY small UI bugs on Xbox's dashboard that has been bugging me. Individually they don't matter, but all together they add up to a sub-par experience. This is one reason why I wanted a new UI for Series X. Instead we've had QoL incremental updates to some sections and a homescreen downgrade.
Having been a windows user since its inception, I expect bugs and no rush to fix them. I get exactly what I expect.
Whilst im happy they are stating they will fix it, no kudos for doing so now when its been a bug for so long. At least its another annoyance that will hopefully go away! 👍
I've literally been having this problem ever since I bought the XSS on release! Every single store update stuck at either 0% or 100% but whenever I contacted MS, they always blamed my Internet (which is great btw) 🙄
A month after this article and again, it's happened. I'm getting real tired of them half-assing everything lately
