Windows 10: Code: 0XC002001B

I gave my laptop to local store for repair, they added a new hard disk and formatted my laptop with updated windows version, but my Microsoft store was not working, i tried everything suggested in community but none worked. so i went to same store and told them the problem, they told that the windows is not activating and downloaded windows again 2 to 3 times and did many changes to my laptop but even though it did not work. Apps are not installing and updating and i am seeing error 0XC002001B . This is my OS build info: Edition : Windows 11 Home Single Language Version : DevInstalled on:

0xc002001b Activation Error Code

I updated my Windows 10 to the 1903 Update using the Media Creation Tool and It appears that my Windows was no longer activated. When told to troubleshoot my activation, I get the error message "We can't activate Windows on this device right now. You can
try activating again later or go to the Store to buy genuine Windows. (0xc002001b)". I searched up the error code on the internet and Windows Help and I haven't gotten anything regarding what the error code means or how to fix my problem. Would anyone happen
to know what 0xc002001b is and how to fix it? Help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Error code "0xC002001B" regarding microsoft store apps

I never ended up installing windows 11, since somehow, launching microsoft solitaire might have allowed some of the apps i needed to install, install. I still have the error, but not with any apps that i need.

I hope microsoft adresses and solves this issue, instead of using it as a resource to make people upgrade to windows 11, since I, personally dislike the new look and performance.

EDIT: Also, i looked through the full error details on "0xC002001B" in the event list.

Some of the details i found:
"error 0xC002001B: While processing the request, the system failed to register the windows.licensing extension due to the following error: <Error message string not found>."

"error 0xC002001B: windows.licensing failed to update critical data for Microsoft.SkypeApp_15.83.408.0_x86__kzf8qxf38zg5c. Try again and contact the package publisher if the problem persists."

"AppX Deployment operation failed for package Microsoft.XboxApp_48.88.11001.0_neutral_~_8wekyb3d8bbwe with error 0x80073CF6. The specific error text for this failure is: error 0xC002001B: windows.licensing failed to update critical data for Microsoft.XboxApp_48.88.11001.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe. Try again and contact the package publisher if the problem persists."

Seems to be a windows licensing issue? I'm not very knowledgeble regarding this subject. But it might be because the PC is bought from a company, so there's issues with the windows keys they use?

 

Error code "0xC002001B" regarding microsoft store apps

Creating another user (administrator/not administrator) still has the same issue.

I performed a clean reset of my computer wiping everything, only installing windows 10.

After all the windows updates, there were a few apps on microsoft store that managed to update. However there is still a long list of apps that give me the "0xC002001B" error when installing/updating.
