Download size is constantly increasing while downloading on Windows Store

Hi Guys, when i started downloading the size showing of forza 7 was 95 gb in the store, however the download size has just been increasing all the while and now it has reached to 103.3 gb out of which i’ve already downloaded 102.3 gb and it still says only 89% done. So it because there is an update or is it some bug? As i had to pause the download and my pc was restarted a couple of times…

Please let me know, as it is very difficult for me to download the entire 100 gigs all over again… Thanks!

In any cause you probably have to redownload it, but first you can try to resolve the problem with these steps. i suggest to try these methods first, as they have the most chance of success.
They are also safe to try, the other methods are a bit risky and it could break things even more.
