Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store
Not sure I understand the "they know what's going on" comment -- there are usually those who claim to know stuff the rest of us do not know.
I guess you could try asking about trouble with the Store at the Microsoft Community That said, Asking would a case of "they" will not know what is going on with a particular HP application - there might be help for any store issue(s).

You are welcome.
I don't have any magic for the Store.
Store is completely in the control of Microsoft, yes - even fussy apps that won't download / install.
Do make sure all your Windows Updates are current and fully installed.
If there is a "pending" update, make sure you Restart the computer after it is installed.
I've had luck on occasion with the following:
Restart computer and router
Log into the Windows computer
Open the store > Open the "Library" (lower left corner) > and Check for for updates
The store itself is an app -- it might need to be updated.
Looks like the most recent Microsoft Store app update (at this writing) was 23-March-2023
