Windows 10: Cannot download apps in Microsoft Store, failing at Acquiring License.

Hi. So, first thing, when I try to download apps in the Microsoft Store, it fails when trying to acquire licenses with the error message, "Something went wrong on our end", and error code 0x80070005. I have been troubleshooting for hours now with no luck, so I'm hoping I can find help online because I am at my wit's end.I have tried every step suggested by CarTzy in this thread and every step suggested in this thread. I've also reinstalled Windows 11. This part is going to sound bad, it probably is. I did attempt some regedit actions regarding AppX User ID stuff. I cannot find in my browser hi

:)

 

Windows Store failed on acquiring license.

My laptop (running on Windows 10 ver. 1703, 64 bit - fully up-to-date) suddenly refused to run Solitaire HD. After repeated attempts to get it running again I gave up and uninstalled it before trying to re-install it.

Whilst Windows Store acknowledges that I 'own' this app, it downloads but fails on 'acquiring license' with the Error Code 0x803F8001.

I have tried everything suggested by subscribers to various internet forums including stopping/starting Windows Update Service, deleting the folder - AppData\Local\Microsoft\TokenBroker\Cache, ensuring the laptop was properly signed in with my Microsoft
Account, running the Update Trouble Shooter, etc. (I've tried so much I can't remember all of it.) Anyway, nothing seems to have any effect. It still fails to re-install immediately it attempts to acquire a license. (This is a free app for goodness sake -
who needs a license?)

Although this is not a critical problem, I would like to have it working again, but at this moment I feel totally frustrated that Microsoft should offer little or no help.

Is there anyone out there who has the knowledge to give meaningful assistance?

Since submitting this problem I read that someone else had solved a similar problem by downloading and installing another app from Microsoft Store so I tried that. The new app downloaded and installed without any problem which encouraged me to go back to
my original problem. Guess what! Nothing had changed! I still can't re-install Solitaire.

The exercise did serve to prove to me that the problem does not seem to be in my laptop, which leaves the distinct possibility that the problem lies with Microsoft.
