Windows 10: Can't Download Anything In the Microsoft Store. I Get the Same Error Code Every Time.

Hello, hope everyone's doing well, I'm having an issue in the Microsoft store that unables me from downloading anything. I thought I was just a problem with one specific game, but after I tried downloading other apps it still gave me the same error.


The infamous "Couldn't install. We'll retry shortly" with code: 0x800700C1 is what I keep getting each time the install bar on any app appears to be done.


I saw an answer on another thread advising to reset the store with Windows key + R and then typing WSReset.exe, but that didn't resolve my issue.


Please help and if you need any more details about this problem, then I'll try my best to get said details.


Thank you for reading this, best regards, and I await a response,

Martin.

Hi,

As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest

• Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
