  1. Cannot install anything from Microsoft store, getting error 0x80073cfe


    I have tried a lot of solutions already, none have worked:sfc scannow in the powershell.Reset microsoft store.reinstalled all Microsoft apps from powershellreinstalled windows from an .iso while retaining apps and filesI think my only other solutions is to do a fresh install of windows, but I'd really prefer not to. Someone else with a similar problem had corrupt files in ProgramData\Microsoft\windows\AppRepositorySo maybe thats it, but I feel like restoring windows would have fixed that.any other suggestions or maybe some troubleshooting we can do? I just want to download games from gamepas

    :)

    Store downloads error 0x80073CFE

    I cannot download/update any apps from the store on this particular computer. It downloads 3.5mB and errors out with 0x80073CFE.

    I've done the wsreset and rebooted - error 0x80073CFE

    logged out of the microsoft account, clicked download to prompt login - error 0x80073CFE

    Reset the store through add/remove programs, rebooted - error 0x80073CFE

    Uninstalled store through powershell, rebooted, reinstalled through powershell, rebooted - error 0x80073CFE

    Created a new user account - error 0x80073CFE
    sfc is fine

    dism is fine

    using windows antivirus with no special rules or exceptions.

    nothing windows is blocked in firewall or hosts file.

    UAC is on

    Pin is set

    I used another computer that has the same microsoft account associated with it's product key and downloads/updates work fine.

    Any clues?

    w10pro 1909 up to date.

    Error code 0x80073CFE microsoft store

    Hi JodieKitten,

    0x80073CFE means the package repository is corrupted.

    Open PowerShell as administrator and run this command:



    • get-appxpackage | out-file c:\apps.txt

    And then run:



    • GCI -Path "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\" -Recurse | Where {$_.Length -eq 0} | out-file c:\corrupt.txt

    Upload the files c:\apps.txt & c:\corrupt.txt to your OneDrive and share the link here.

    Also, what's the version of your Store app?
