In order to consolidate and organize the data on your drives, you can defragment your computer. And, while Windows 10 automatically defragments files once a week, you can also do this manually any time you want to.
The fix: To defrag a drive, click the magnifying glass icon in the bottom-left corner of your screen. Then type Defrag in the search bar and click Open. In the pop-up window, click Analyze to check how much space is taken up by fragmented files on your hard drive. If there are lots of fragmented files, click Optimize. However, you should only defrag your drive if it is labeled as a hard disk drive under Media type. If you see that your drive is labeled as a solid-state drive, defragging it can actually wear down your drive more.

By default, Delivery Optimization will use the PCs on my local network setting. That should provide Delivery Optimization access to a broader pool of PCs outside your local network.
Your computer may have bandwidth limits that throttle Delivery Optimization. To remove them, select Advanced Options at the bottom of the Delivery Optimization panel. On the Advanced Options screen, uncheck the boxes underneath the Absolute bandwidth or the Percentage of measured bandwidth section.
That should prompt Windows 10 to dynamically adjust the amount of bandwidth available for the Microsoft Store. Alternatively, you can allow Delivery Optimization unrestricted access to all available bandwidth. Have you updated Windows 10 in a while?
If not, try doing that now. The Microsoft Store is a native Windows app. Hence, updating the operating system should also update the Microsoft Store and resolve any known issues that result in slow downloads.
