Might I have done anything wrong? 
 Here are the logs:

\begin{code}
Installing SimpleX Chat...

AppVerifier: Error: Could not verify the integrity of the application.

\end{code}

I'm running Windows 10 Home edition, with latest updates, and the store version of SimpleX Chat.

Please help me resolve this issue.

Answer: The issue you're experiencing with SimpleX Chat is related to the AppVerifier tool, which is used to verify the integrity of the application. It seems that the tool is unable to verify the files of the application, resulting in an endless loop of installing and verifying.

Here are some potential solutions to try:

1. Run the Store app as an administrator: Right-click on the SimpleX Chat icon in the Start menu and select "Run as administrator". This may give the AppVerifier tool the necessary permissions to verify the application files.
2. Disable AppVerifier: You can try disabling the AppVerifier tool by following these steps:

a. Open the Windows Store app.

b. Click on the "Settings" icon (three horizontal dots in the top right corner).

c. Scroll down to the "Security" section and toggle off the "Use AppVerifier to verify apps" switch.

After disabling AppVerifier, try installing and verifying SimpleX Chat again.
3. Reinstall the Store app: If none of the above solutions work, you can try reinstalling the Windows Store app to see if that resolves the issue.
4. Check for updates: Make sure that your Windows 10 installation is up to date, as updated versions of the Store app may resolve this issue.

If none of these solutions work, you can try reaching out to the SimpleX Chat support team for further assistance.
