Windows 10: Can't buy XBox Pass for Windows Error Code: 0x80070057 in the Microsoft Store

Hi, I'm keen to get the XBox Live Pass but can't buy it - I can't download anything from the Microsoft Store and haven't been able to for years due to the error code 0x80070057.


Is there any other way of buying and installing i.e. is there a desktop Windows client or do I have to go through the Microsoft App store?


If I have to go through the Microsoft store I don't think I can buy it as the error code has been around for years and there is no solution for it short of a full reinstall.

Windows Update gives error code 0x80070057

Too bad that didn't work *Sad

Try a clean startup:

Launch System Configuratiion (msconfig)

on the Services tab:

Hide all Microsoft servicesPress the [Disable all] button

on the Startup tab: Press Open Task Manager
Disable all items listed
Close Task Manager
Press [Ok] on the System Configuration window

Restart your machine
Try a manual Windows Update from Settings -> Update and Recovery (not Control Panel)

The issue might be HW related.

A few other suggested fixes were to run wsreset

This might have more affect (works on Win10, not just Win8.x)
Store - Re-register in Windows 8 and 8.1

Try all three and test an update.

However, the exact difference can be told by experts on the Xbox forum so suggest you to start a question there.
