    Error: 0x80070002 - Unable to Install/Update Windows Store Apps

    Unable to update or install apps from Windows Store


    Hi!

    After the latest Windows 10 update (ver 17134.165), I noticed that I am unable to update or install app from store. The error code is 0x80070002. According to what I've already searched on Google, I've tried to:

    1. Run WSReset.exe
    2. Change my Microsoft account to local account (some people say it worked for them). Not for me.

    In the past I already had a problem with the Store (inability to update apps, but different error code). That time the culprit was Windows Defender Firewall disabled in services. This time it is activated and set to Automatic. Windows Defender is disabled, as always (I have Comodo and avast). Windows 10 Home x64.

    Please, does someone have some advice to resolve this problem?
