    Cannot uninstall or update Store apps Error 0x80070057, along with 0x80073CF9 or 0x80073CFA


    I have lost the ability to uninstall or update a large number of third-party Store apps. I get an error 0x80070057 in conjunction with either 0x80073CF9 during update or 0x80073CFA during uninstallation. The apps themselves continue to work okay though.


    Here is an example of what happens when I try to uninstall MediaInfo.


    If I try to uninstall it using Apps and Features, I get this:

    Cannot uninstall or update Store apps Error 0x80070057, along with 0x80073CF9 or 0x80073CFA f80d84da-c5c1-431e-9997-ebead8bfb24a?upload=true.png

    If I try to uninstall it via PowerShell, I get this:


    Remove-AppxPackage: Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA, Removal failed. Please contact your software vendor.
    Deployment Remove operation with target volume C: on Package MediaArea.net.MediaInfo_19.4.0.0_x64__9bzbd7xajy7ar from: MediaArea.net.MediaInfo_19.4.0.0_x64__9bzbd7xajy7ar failed
    with error 0x80070057. See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=235160 for help diagnosing app deployment issues.
    NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] 86beb25b-0771-0005-a7d3-be867107d601 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID 86beb25b-0771-0005-a7d3-be867107d601


    Here is what the Event Log says:

    Things that I have tried and didn't help:

    • Run the app troubleshooter. Actually, I think it aggravated the issue.
    • Updating Windows. I am now running Windows 10 v1909 build 18363.720
    • Running wsreset.exe.

    None of these helped.

    Error code : (0x80073CFA) and (0x80073CF9)

    After the start up my pc is hanging a lot and after opening the store I see that the existing apps are trying to update but can't, error code (0x80073CF9). I tried to uninstall them but can't, error code (0x80073CFA). I wanted to reset by removing everything
    I have but it fails to make any change. I wanted to go back to windows 7 but it says that the back up has been deleted. I can't connect to the contact support either. Please help.

    I can't uninstall store apps, sometimes error 0x80073cfa

    I can't uninstall store apps and sometimes I received the error 0x80073cfa. The errand apps stay in the Start Menu also. Since I tried to uninstall the specified apps, they will no longer open. I can't even re-install them. Is this a MS Store bug? All this is happening in a new local user profile I created.
