Windows 10: UWP apps not installing

Hello, I can't install UWP apps. When I try to install an app from the Microsoft Store, it gives me error code 0x80070005, even if I try to install an UWP app with a standalone installer, like an AppXBundle or something, it gives the same error code, and won't install at all. On the MS Store, it downloads the app successfully, but cannot install it onto Windows, it says I own the app, yet when I go to the page, it says Install, and shows a little text saying an error occured. It thinks I have the app already but still can't install it even though it's nowhere to be found. A bit of time ago it

:)

 

Certain apps are crashing upon start. App reset, re-installation nothing seems to help. Any fixes?

The app in question are as follows:

• Engadget UWP
• Windows Central UWP
• CNET (Windows 8 App)

These were working fine in AU.

I have tried App reset and re-installation from store. Nothing seems to help.

Any suggestions?

 

UWP Suspended my apps to improve my system performance

Hi

Welcome to Microsoft community.

It seems you're experiencing issues with Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps not functioning correctly on your Windows system. This can be due to various reasons including system file corruption, outdated system components, or conflicts within the operating system. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve these issues:

1. Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter

Windows includes a variety of troubleshooters designed to quickly diagnose and automatically resolve various computer problems.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Additional troubleshooters.
  
• Find and run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter.
  

2. Check for Windows Updates

Ensuring your system is up to date is crucial for its stability and functionality.

• Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, and click Check for updates.
  
• Install any available updates and restart your computer.
  

3. Reset the Microsoft Store Cache

Sometimes the Microsoft Store cache can become corrupted and cause issues with UWP apps.

• Press Windows + R to open the Run dialog.
  
• Type wsreset.exe and press Enter. A blank Command Prompt window will appear, and after about ten seconds the window will close and the Store will open automatically.
  

4. Use PowerShell to Re-register UWP Apps

You mentioned trying to re-register UWP apps without success, but ensure you followed these steps:

• Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  
• Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:
  
  
• Wait for the process to complete and then restart your computer.
  

5. Create a New User Account

Sometimes, the user profile can become corrupted and cause issues with app functionality.

• Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users.
  
• Under Other users, click Add someone else to this PC and follow the prompts to create a new user account.
  
• Switch to the new account and see if the issue persists.
  

6. Perform a System File Check (SFC)

System File Checker can repair corrupted system files which might be causing the issues with UWP apps.

• Right-click on the Start button and select Windows PowerShell (Admin).
  
• Type sfc /scannow and press Enter.
  
• Wait for the scan to complete and then restart your computer.
  

7. Consider a Clean Install

If none of the above solutions work, performing a clean installation of Windows might be necessary. This will remove all files, settings, and applications, so ensure you back up important data first.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
