Windows 10: Cant update or install programs from the ms store

I only discovered it after ms photos didnt want to start up and decided to just reset the app and update it to the latest version, turns out i cant update or install any programs. even after rebooting my pc.

All the apps unable to install gives me error code 0x80070005

Also at the time of writing this the ms photo app did update itself somehow, however it being on the latest version still doesnt start up only briefly showing up in the taskbar just to dissapear again.

Updating store...

Hi Clyde,

Software conflicts might be the caused why the Windows Store is stuck on working. It occurs
when you install a program or an update or when you run a program in Windows 10. We suggest that you run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter by following the steps below:

• On the Search box, type Troubleshooting and press
  Enter.
• Click on View all in the left panel.
• Select Windows Store Apps to run the troubleshooter.

Let see if it makes any difference.

 

Windows Updated(16299.309).KB4088776 Restart is required to complete.


Hi dalchina. Good news, I followed your suggestion and reinstalled the update and now it appears as "installed correctly" *Biggrin Maybe it was not necessary to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter or maybe if necessary. But using it I do not think it could have worsened something. The installation was very fast, unlike the first time it showed step 1 and step 2 completed.

Thanks for the suggestions and for the time to respond Best regards.


And thanks for the tip of that program, I'll have it on my list.

 

MS store programs - can they be copied and installed manually ?

Hi Wayne,

The programs from Windows Store can't be copied and installed manually. Each program has to be downloaded from the Store. In order for you to have the same access on your laptop, we suggest that you log in on your laptop using the same Microsoft account
used on your desktop computer. Here are the steps on how to
Sign in with a Microsoft account.

Should further assistance be needed, don't hesitate to let us know.

Regards.
