error code 0x80070005, unable to install Photo app on Windows 10

Original Title: Can't install microsoft photo, error code 0x80070005

In Windows 10, I can't update Microsoft Photo, and aftere uninstalling it, now I can't reinstall it. The message is that I have to try again and that the error code is: 0x80070005

 

Microsoft Photos installation Code: 0x80070005 error

I don't even know where to begin.

So, I noticed a couple of days ago that Adobe After Effects wasn't opening on my laptop. I ignored it for a while thinking it would fix itself. It did not. I updated Windows but that didn't fix the problem. I googled it and after some searching I found out
that Windows Defender had blocked After Effects for whatever reason. I resolved the issue by manually allowing it through Defender. Everything's good now, right? No.

Yesterday I was trying to open Windows Photos and it wouldn't open. A window would come up quick then vanish immediately. I left it alone for a while hoping it would fix itself (notice a pattern?). It did not. I went to the Defender like before to see if
Photos had also somehow gotten blocked. It hadn't. I googled it and tried a bunch of suggestions (I've tried so many I can't even remember them all). At some point the app just stopped opening at all (no pop up and vanish). I realized it had uninstalled. Which
is weird because I thought it was one of those preinstalled apps that can't be removed but alright I guess. I could still search it up through the windows search bar but it wouldn't open. When I went to the Microsoft Store it said "you own this app" but it
also had an install button so I pressed it. It downloaded to like 95% then said error. I checked the details and it said Code: 0x80070005.

I've googled the problem up and down and it seems that this is actually a very common problem amongst a lot of users. I've done EVERYTHING that people have suggested but nothing has worked.

Here's a list of the stuff I can remember doing, none of which have worked (I tried almost everything):

• Any and everything to do with Windows Powershell
• CMD check, scan and restore health
• CMD sfc/scannow
• Checking for malware
• Troubleshooting literally everything
• Going to the "Local" folder and giving access to "Everyone"
• Going to Defender and adding the Host Process for Windows Services program
• Probably anything else you can think of

At some point the name for Photos even changed for some reason. Now, when I look for Photos in the windows search bar it says ms-resource:AppFriendlyName. The only thing that has worked is creating a new user and downloading Photos from there but I want
to be able to use it from my main account/user again. I've had this laptop for almost a year and this has never happened. Is there anything else I can do?

 

Error Code 0x80070005 when trying to download Microsoft Photos in Windows 10

When attempting to open a picture in Microsoft Photos I received the error message "Package could not be registered". After trying various solutions, none of which worked, I opted to delete and reinstall Microsoft Photos. While I was able to successfully
delete Microsoft Photos, I get the following error message in Microsoft Store when I try to reinstall "Something unexpected happened" and "Code 0x80070005"

I also noticed that the following apps have updates pending and receive the same error message when trying to install the updates:

* Movies & TV

* MSN Weather

* Microsoft Solitaire Collection

* Groove Music

* MSN News

* Simple Solitaire

I have installed and run the Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter. Unfortunately this did not fix the problem.
