Wondering which Windows 10 apps to uninstall? It's been showing "starting download" for hours already, and there is no Cancel button. Please help me, I need to install the app.
In Windows 10 Mobile there are two buttons when an app is downloading: Pause and Cancel. These are shown to the right of the app name same as on desktop.
However, if the download does not start correctly or doesn't succeed these buttons will not be visible, which it sounds like is happening for you.
