  1. Error 0x80073CF9 when trying to download anything from the Microsoft Store


    As the title say, I get the error 0x80073CF9 when trying to download anything from the store.

    I looked around on the Web, and I tried multiple solutions none of which worked.

    All the messing around with the command prompt and powershell that can be found when looking for this specific error; both folders AppReadiness and AUInstallAgent exist, I reinstalled Windows multiple times (and yes, I have the most recent version), I tried wsreset....

    And yet, still nothing. Any other solution that can't be found around and that might be working? Thank you in advance.

    Error code 0x80073CF9 when installing apps from the Windows Store

    I'm receiving the following error when trying to install apps from the Windows Store on Windows 10. It doesn't occur with every program, which makes it extremely frustrating to debug. The Event Viewer is no help, as it provides the same cryptic messages:


    • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070490: Gears of War 4.
    • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073CF9: Gears of War 4.
    • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073CF9: Carcassonne.
    • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80070490: Candy Crush Saga.
    • Installation Failure: Windows failed to install the following update with error 0x80073CF9: Candy Crush Saga.

    I've Googled this error and searched TenForums but found nothing to help. SFC /SCANNOW reports no errors, re-registering the Windows Store app does nothing, disabling BitDefender does nothing. Is any real help available, or do I have to file a scam report with PayPal since Microsoft is incapable of managing a simple software download?

  4. Error 0x80073CF9 when trying to download anything from the Microsoft Store

    Windows store error 0x80073CF9

    When I try to install some apps from the Windows store the download will stop saying it couldn't install the app. On the error details it gives the error code 0x80073CF9. One that is consistent with this error is the Microsoft Treasure Hunter game. I have searched this error on the internet and have found several things to try to fix it including wsreset, creating the apprepository folder(it was already there), and creating the auinstallagent folder(it was already there). None of these fixes the issue. I was hoping there was a fix for this without having to do a windows refresh. Is there anything else that can be tried before doing a windows refresh?
