Windows Store downloads are severely rate limited on my Windows 11 (10.0.22631.3085 23H2) computer and I can't figure out why (nor can our IT guys). What could be causing it?
The download rate is typically less that 100 bytes a second. This makes it look like it's stuck, but it's not - it's just very, very slow.
I have tried all the troubleshooting advice I can find.
My internet speed is fine. Non-Store downloads are fine. Downloads of packages found using https://store.rg-adguard.net/ work fine, suggesting the limit is being imposed by the Store on my computer rather than an external limit.
Things I have tried:
- Connected to a variety of different networks with and without VPNs at different locations globally;
- Ran
wsreset.exe; - Ran
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}This reinstalls and re-registers all built-in Store apps on the system; - In Settings > System > System Components > Microsoft Store > Advanced options I have done a Repair and Reset;
- Windows "Game Mode" is turned off and I removed Microsoft.GamingServices (as suggested here);
- Set Windows Update > Advanced Options > Delivery Optimisation > Advanced Options > Percentage of measured bandwidth (measured against the update source) to 100% bandwidth for both foreground and background;
- Delivery Optimisation > Allow downloads from other PCs is disabled;
The only thing that I have not tried is disabling Bitdefender Endpoint Security. Could Bitdefender really be the problem here?
The computer is attached to a Windows domain and my user account is limited, although I have a local admin account I can elevate to perform tasks I need local admin priviledges for (e.g. installing software).
I'm stumped. What else could I try to troubleshoot or diagnose this issue?
