• Address the issues highlighted in the Microsoft Store app performance assessment results: The main areas to focus on are any that have issues highlighted in dark purple, followed by issues marked in medium purple.

You also need to pay attention to processor and storage usage, as well as processor and storage I/O delays, registry flushes, time accounting, missing symbols, long-running Deferred Procedure Calls (DPCs), and Interrupt Service Routines (ISRs) that can be perceived by the end user as performance issues.
