  1. Error downloading game from Microsoft Store


    Hi,


    I purchased Flight Simulator 2020 when it came out and installed perfectly fine. When the latest update came out, I started to get an error when downloading the latest update in MS Store. After many times of trying and diagnosing I decided to do a clean install of the simulator.


    I fully deleted all content and tried to re-download from Microsoft store. I get an error every time straight away, this is the code:0x80070141


    I had a look on the FS 2020 forums and tried getting it to work with all that is suggested, and along with the troubleshoot app not bringing up any issues, I am still stuck with not being able to download this game.

    I can however download any other app, just not FS2020.


    Link from FS2020 with their tips on how to get download/install to work


    I have tried:

    • Ensuring I am using an administrator account
    • Ensuring windows 10 is the up to date I am on version 2004
    • Made sure there are no pending updates
    • Updates in MS Store are working properly Although FS2020 does not work
    • Checked time and location settings
    • Reset the Microsoft Store cache
    • Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter No results shown
    • Tried installing on a different hard drive
    • Performed a clean boot of windows
    • Removed windows store local cache
    • Reset the installer
    • Disk Clean
    • Troubleshooting tool

    I have had absolutely no luck. Is anyone able to advise?


    Many thanks,

    Kieran

    :)

    Hi Mosey,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Community.

    I understand that you are facing problem with Microsoft Store Apps and games.

    It would be grateful if you can reply to this question in order to assist you further:

    • Do you receive any error message or code when you try to play the games or download games from Windows Store?
    • What happen when you try to play the Microsoft Solitaire collection games?
    • Do you face issue only while downloading games or even other apps from Windows Store?

    Note: Basic information on Apps

    • UAC (User Account Control) must be enabled.
    • To access the Windows Store and to download and run apps, you need an active Internet connection and a screen resolution of at least
      1024 x 768.
    • To snap apps, you need a screen resolution of at least
      1366 x 768.

    Let's try the below steps and check if it helps:

    Step 1: Try clearing the Store Cache:

    • Press the Windows key + R keys.
    • In the Run window, type
      WSReset.exe
      and click “Ok”.
    Step 2: Also I would suggest you to run

    1. Type Troubleshooter in the
    search bar
    and click on it from the list.

    not able to download games from store

    Hi,

    There are several possible reasons as to why you're encountering issues with downloading games from the Windows Store. Here's a list of the common factors:

    • Your account may be restricted from downloading games that are inappropriate for your age.
    • Games you're trying to download are not available in your current region.
    • Corrupted app data
    • An outdated Windows 10 OS

    For us to determine the root cause of this issue, kindly answer the following questions:

    • Are you getting any error messages?
    • Are you using an adult or a child account?
    • Is the Microsoft account you're using in the Windows Store app the same as your Windows 10 user account?
    • Are you using an administrator user account?

    In the meantime, we suggest running the Windows apps troubleshooter provided on this

    link
    . This can help resolve issues with downloading and installing games from the Windows Store.
