    Administrator approval required for installation

    • Press Windows key + R and type wsreset.
    • Right-click on the wsreset option and select Run as Administrator.
    • Click Yes on the User Account Control prompt and wait while the system is resetting the Store cache.
    • When Windows Store window opens, it means that the cache has been reset. Reopen Windows Store and try to download required files.

    If the simplest way to fix 0x80073d0b error did not work, try to clear Windows Store cache in a more advanced way:

    • Press Windows key + R to open run.
    • Copy and paste the %localappdata%\\Packages\\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\\LocalState in the run dialogue.
    • Click OK to execute the command.
    • Now find the folder named Cache. Right-click it and select
      Rename.
    • Name the Cache folder as Cache.old.
    • If you can’t find the Cache folder, create it. Right-click on an empty space and select
      New -> Folder.
    • Name it Cache and close File Explorer.
    • Now press Windows key + I and open Updates & Security.
    • Select Troubleshoot from the left pane and find the
      Windows Store App.
    • Click it and run a scan.

    download doesn't start for apps that require administrator approval

    Tried to install gamepass games from microsoft store and xbox pc beta but I get an error for every app that require administrator approval.

    I logged in with a microsoft account. I have already tried to reset my laptop, reset the store as well (wsreset) and logged in as administrator (with the command line). During the latter, the download started but I got an error message after seconds).

    Any ideas? I cannot use another microsoft account as mine is tied with game pass ultimate!

    Minecraft installation in Microsoft store

    Hi,

    Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.

    We understand your concern as you are unable to install Minecraft in Microsoft Store. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers to the questions below:

    • What is the Windows 10 version and Build installed? (Type
      winver in Windows search/Run command)
    • Do you have any non-Microsoft antivirus program installed?
    • Does this issue occur for all games & apps from the store?
    • What is the date and time on the PC and ensure it is correct?
    • Do you get any error message or code?

    Meanwhile, we would suggest you to perform these steps and after every step check if you are able to install the game.

    Step 1: Reset the Windows Store Cache: Press the Windows Logo Key + R to open the
    Run dialog box, type wsreset.exe, and then select OK.

    Note:
    A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

    Step 2: Run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter: Select the
    Start button, and then select Settings>Update & Security
    > Troubleshoot, and then from the list select Windows Store apps > Run the troubleshooter.

    Step 3: If you have any non-Microsoft security/antivirus software installed, disable it temporarily and then try installing the game.

    Step 4: If the issue persists, then we would suggest you to create a new administrator user account and check, refer this article to

    create a local user or administrator account in Windows 10
    .
