Windows 10: Cannot install or update Apps Windows Store , error 80073DOA

I cannot install anything from Windows Store. It will down load normally & then fail with error 80073DOA. Updates to Apps also fail to install with the same error. I have run wreset ( several times) but still no joy. Date & Time Zone are correct.



Windows Firewall must be enabled to allow the Store to Update & Install!
Found this by accident. I was running the Firewall that came with Norton Security. Why this is a requirement I don't know. Disabling the Norton Firewall was easy but there was no option to turn the windows Firewall back on as Norton had taken over so
I went into Services & did it from there. All working fine now *Smile))

Windows Update and Store not working

On my PC, Windows Update won't download any update. It stuck on "Downloading updates 0%". The store cannot update or install new apps. It stuck on downloading, with no progress. Using Windows 10 1703 Build 15063.296. Tried using the Windows Update troubleshooter.
No 3rd party antivirus installed.

The same thing happens on my Lumia 950. It won't download any update. It stuck on "Initializing updates". The store there also cannot update or install new apps. The store either shows downloading all the time or shows an error. The error codes 0x80072F78,
0x8024402C, and 0x8024001E shows up. The first error code shows on most apps. Using Windows 10 1703 Build 15063.297

 

Unable to open Windows Store after kb3149135 update on Windows 10.

There was no error message. The update kb3149135 installed 100% After installation the Windows store will not open at all. Apps in start are grayed out. I cannot uninstall kb3149135.

 

There is nothing on the web about this error code. Did you managed to fix it? please update here if yes.

 

No. I couldn't find anything either. Really getting fed up with it. I have a stack of updates waiting in the queue ' pending' its got to be something locally that's stopping the install. I have Norton Security but turning that off had no effect.

 

Hi Ros, Today i was not able to Install any app or game in windows store. It was downloading, Acquiring license, Installing and showing error. Might be the case is same for you too.

I tried wsreset.exe, Adding Some folder in C:\Windows but then i found notification in task bar that said i need to verify my microsoft account. I verified it with my phone number and the problem was solved.

Just go to start > Settings > account and see if there is an option to verify. if there is, then try and verify if that helps you to get rid of this error.

Might not work but you can try.

 

Fixed it! I went to look at my account & it was verified. I then started to look around & noticed my account 'Language' was set to English ( United States) so I changed it to English UK & all is working fine!! So simple!!!

 

Out of the blue I'm getting the same error code again!! The Apps that installed previously wont run they are looking for micoft.net native runtime package which fails on error 80073CF9
