Halo Wars 2 "Starting Download" on Microsoft Store

So as soon as I click the install button on either the Halo Wars 2 or the Halo Wars 2 Complete edition I am met with what I thought would be a good sign to see “Starting Download” but instead it never progresses from that message and I’m left waiting forever. Has anyone experienced this before?

I feel like this is an issue with the Windows store, but there has to be a way to solve it.

Hey, Cm0nkey21,

Are you encountering this issue when trying to download on Windows 10 or Xbox One? Also, are you able to download anything else from the Store?

I had a similar issue: it seemed I could not download the game because, after about 20-30 seconds the download ‘stopped’ ( the speed decreased from the 30 mb/s to 1 kb/s and then it stopped at all ). I downloaded the Halo app and started the download on the microsoft store: it seemed it was not downlodig, but in the app it was. I think it is that the download is shown only the halo app.
