    The error 0x80070005 appears everytime I try to install an app from the MS Store It always occurs just after the store tries to acquire the licence.

    Minecraft Launcher Installation Application [Error code 0x80070005]

    I have downloaded MinecraftInstaller.exe via minecraft.net on my Windows 10 Home computer (PC). Am logged into the Microsoft Store account. I have checked license box and clicked 'install' button. After that the application needs my administrator approve for "host process for windows service" from verified Microsoft Windows. Then there is screen with text "something went wrong", "couldn't install apllication 0x80070005". I checked forums, my problem is diffrent that install bar doesn't even start :

    https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/minecraftlauncher-installation-error-0x80070005/c5edf005-5a78-45d2-8cf7-694b530937e2

    yet I tried solutions listed in link above.

    Firstly, the permissions in AppData\Local of the Packages folder have been ensured that all the users listed have their full control.
    Secondly, I've tried more steps:

    Solution 1 - Run Windows App Troubleshooter

    no change.

    Solution 2 - Reset Windows Store through Command Prompt

    no change.

    Solution 3 - Re-register All Store apps

    no change.


    None work, as the error code still appears. Installation does not work.

    There is also one thing i have to notice: downloading Minecraft from Microsoft Store doesn't work as well.
    The description for all the files shows error. There was a descriptions of error details that showed:
    Code: 0x803FB107 for Minecraft: Java & Bedrock Edition for PC.
    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft: Java Edition

    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft for Windows

    Code: 0x80070005 for Gaming Service (am translating titles from my native language so it may have different name)

    and

    Code: 0x80070005 for Minecraft Launcher
