Windows 10: Cannot install this one Store app

Hello everyone

On my laptop I have a weird issue with the Microsoft Store since last week. I have already installed and removed Python 3.7 or 3.8 from the store before without any problem, but now all I can seem to get is this:

Something unexpected happened

Reporting this problem will help us understand it better. You can wait for a while and try again or restart your device. That may help.

Code: 0x80070005
​

Any other app I have tried would work without any problem. Also, installing Python 3.8 on another user local account does work fine as well. The application isn't listed as installed, but I've noticed that 2 shortcuts (one for IDLE, the other for Python) appear in my start menu, but cannot uninstall them (nothing happens).

Does anybody know how I could get over this, without going through the hassle of creating and setting up another profile from scratch ?

Windows Store to Pack "Mature" Games and Apps

They announce this right after they said weren't going to carry any of it... Ya think some investors told them to stfu and take money? *Laugh :laugh:

I wonder how long it will be before you can't install noncertified apps? The app store is the 1st stepping stone. Although, you'd have to be an idiot to give 30% to these clowns.

Mail app will not open on 10041.


Hello Adam,

This is the suggested solution below if you haven't already tried it.

In this Windows 10 build 10041, the Mail, Calendar, and People apps may be broken due to a licensing issue with the Store Beta. To get these apps working again, you need to follow these steps:

• Open powershell as administrator
• Run the command Get-appxprovisionedpackage –online | where-object {$_.packagename –like “*windowscommunicationsapps*”} | remove-appxprovisionedpackage –online
• Re-install Mail, People and Calendar from the Store (green tile)
