Lunar new year sale has disabled store from working in connect
the store will not work. i can only click on things above the red 'use this code to get % off' banner. its like its asking me to ok like for the cookie permissions, but its off the bottom of the page and i cannot close the thing to be able to click on anything on the store. usually i also get a partial circle of blue squares like it broke off from loading something and gave up.
this is most annoying - how can i buy anything in a sale if the sale somehow disables the store!
it feels like the store isnt loading fully at all - it seems like it has for about a millisecond, then it goes all dim and the partial circle of blue blocks appears in the middle like a loading circle that never fills.
im wondering if this might be related to a .NET framework 'preview' update that microsoft force installed (i dont like installing preview anything but it gave me no choice) and which is one of two current preview updates. i didnt install the earlier one after reports it bricked or forced into a reboot repair loop other pcs.
anyway, the point is there is a sale and i cant load the store and if this happens to a lot of people you probably wont sell much.
