App Store Unable To Download At This Time

Unable to Download App Fix – Apple App Store. Unable to Download App Fix – Apple App Store. Doing this can be quite annoying because it takes a lot of time and can be a real pain. Then retry the download. Restart the App Store app: Double tap the home button to see all the open apps on your device. Close all of them.

I am unable to download any app from store. I click on install and it says installing app but does not actually download the app

Observation:

1. It does starts downloading the app but pause all of the sudden in middle. It says downloading but it does not actually download. (Because there's no upload/download bandwidth being used by system. 0 kbps download as displayed by Task manager as well as my bandwidth software)

2. I can't multi-task when downloading the app. If I minimise the store, downloading stops. If its minimised for longer time, even store stops. (When I resume/restore the windows store, it starts reloading). Then the app downloading is stuck and displays 'pending'.

Methods Tried:

1. Using wsreset.exe command in cmd

2. Re -register store app using command:

powershell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $Env:SystemRootWinStoreAppxManifest.xml

I also tried to download app from store without using windows store (downloading appx from store by link) as described in the below link and also at many sites:

Unable To Download Windows Store Apps

Using this method, download does start and completes successfully for small apps. But for bigger apps (in GB) which takes some time to download, another error is displayed by browser/download manager 'Session expired' / 'Downloading address has been changed/refreshed'

In nutshell, I am unable to download any app via any means. Small apps (say below 10-20 MB) are good to go but downloading bigger apps causes a lot of trouble. Any method to downloading from store or without store will be a great relief.
