For apps download/update change the connected WiFi settings to "static"

For crashes I would suggest to "clear cache" and "clear data" of these apps: Phone, SIM Toolkit, and Contacts

If it didn't work, then factory reset and start fresh (don't restore from cloud) it could be something from backup that conflict with MIUI

Thx for the tips I'll try them Edit: only had crashes on device setup

I did factory reset(4th time) and haven't restored from cloud yet, I̶'̶m̶ ̶a̶b̶l̶e̶ ̶t̶o̶ ̶p̶r̶o̶p̶e̶r̶l̶y̶ ̶u̶p̶d̶a̶t̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶a̶l̶l̶ ̶a̶p̶p̶s̶ ̶n̶o̶w̶. can only update some apps already installed on the device and phone hangs when installing google apps that are part of the device setup.

I think this problem has to do with miui aggressive apps freeze/lock battery saver policies
Anyone knows how to disable that? I did disable miui optimizations and wifi throttling in developer settings (And no I don't have battery saver on)

I did factory reset(4th time) and haven't restored from cloud yet, I'm able to properly update and install apps now. But if I can't restore all my data from my account this phone is pretty useless to me.

I'm no expert on miui yet by try to lock google play store in the memory. You can do that in the recents list. Also make sure that all the needed apps have the right permissions (storage etc.).

Rhx, I'll try that to. Edit: didn't work

Well apparently android system webview can't update
Screenshots, look at clock

UPDATE: MAIN POST EDITED
So I added my google account after setting up the device, I managed to restore a lot of apps BUT some of them failed and/or can't install them from playstore.
Tried deleting cache and storage from PlayStore. Also tried disabling MIUI optimizations and even letting the screen on ∞ time and let it install overnight......nothing
The list of apps appear to be random, so I'll just keep updating it

• Android system webview - can't update
• PokemonGo - c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶i̶n̶s̶t̶a̶l̶l̶ was installed after update MIUI V12.0.2.0 (QJGEUXM)
• Flud - can't install always stuck at 66% (25-09-2020 managed to install it today...dunno why)

Anyways I unlocked bootloader etc. Still can't update some apps like, messages, chrome and system webview

But what is important :
PlayStore settings -> scroll to the bottom and under Play Protect certification -> Device not certified

Is this normal?

In set-up wizard I login with google account and choose restore from cloud
When it's completing setup (my apps and data) it hangs on 47 ou of 87
Waited for a whole day for it to finish...nothing
Reset device 2nd time
Did another google backup on my old phone
Same thing this time at 60 out of 87
Edit:
Factory reset
No google account this time
Managed to update apps already installed on device, can't install new apps without signing-in
Disable all automatic updates etc.... sign in with google account, can't install apps "waiting for download"

also had this error during restore but doesn't seem to matter

Updating apps on playstore doesn't work, installing new apps also doesn't work...everything gets queued up and no progress
Really disapointed with this, maybe it's faulty?
Edit:
Did yet another system/factory reset. And this time I chose restore backup from another phone, hope it works.... update: it didn't, same thing 36 out of 87

Same thing happened to my device when I bought it, but I managed to install everything. All it took was just a restart.
Also, keeping your bootloader unlock will remove the Play Store certification, the only way to be certified again is to restore the stock rom again and lock the bootloader, otherwise you may encounter further problems with Google services in the future.

The apps eventually install/update, for some reason. Just wanted to find out why
