  2. Error 0x800704cf in microsoft store

    Hi,

    As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest
    that you download and run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Once done, check if the issue persists.
    You can also check if the Store works in another user account. If the issue
    still persists, we suggest to reset the Microsoft Store. Here are the steps on how to do so:

    • Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
    • Hit Enter to proceed.

    You may reset the Store a couple of times before checking if the issue persists.

    Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps provided above.

    Windows Store on win 10 not allowing app downloads..failing with error 0x800704CF

    Hi Noel,

    Error code 0x800704CF can be caused by corruptions in the cache. To resolve this problem, I suggest that you flush the app cache and restore the performance of the Microsoft Store app.

    Here's how:

    • Press Windows+R to open Run.
    • Type WSReset.exe, and then click OK or press
      Enter.
    • Try to download apps.

    Let us know how it turns out.
