Windows 10: Code: 0x80072F8F. I've tried repairing and reinstalling and neither work. wsreset.exe...

I got this weird code somehow in the microsoft store and it's showing up in almost every app I try downloading. I tried repairing the windows store, resetting it, running the troubleshooter, and more. The one thing that I haven't been able to do successfully is wsreset.exe. It somehow stays in the console window forever and never finishes.

Cannot install updates or Store apps, error code 0x80072F8F

BITS troubleshooter gave the below results:









I have restarted after trying the various repairs. No other computers on the laptop, so not sure if others would update successfully.

Seems the SFC/SCANNOW problem is that one noted in your post. I tried to fix it using the commands given in the post you linked, but didn't seem to work as I still get the same error.

All this looks alright, except the SFC /SCANNOW command returned a note about there being some corrupt files - I have the log saved if (part of?) it would be useful?

Puzzling. Tends to suggest permissions errors or other corruption.

As a matter of routine, please run these basic checks.
a. Check your disk e.g.
HD Tune (free) Health and Error scan tabs (e.g. from Softpedia).
b. If ok, run
chkdsk c: /scan
from an admin command or Powershell prompt
c. if ok, run
SFC /SCANNOW
similarly

Report the summary results.
