Windows 10: Error 0x80073CFE when updating or installing apps in the Microsoft Store

I've been encountering this issue for months now. Whenever I try to install a new update or application from the Microsoft Store, it says Error and lists this code. I'm not sure how to fix this as I've tried every solution I could find.



I've tried:

- wsreset.exe

- Resetting via the Windows App & Features settings

- Redownloading the app via Powershell

- Using cmd prompt to repair files



If anyone has a fix to this issue, please let me know.

Windows 10- Store Error 0x80073CFE

I have tried all steps provided in the link. I have solved all problems found with dism using a ISO and have now performed a sfc with no integrity violations.

But still, the original problem is there, Windows Store Error 0x80073CFE. Since no app can update, there are more apps now, 32 of them, with the same error.
