Windows 10: Error code 0x8024500C when trying to download an app in the Microsoft Store

I was laid off in 2020, and my employer let me keep my laptop. Whenever I try to download something in the Microsoft Store, I receive an error message that says:


"Turn on Windows Update. This install is prevented by policy. Ask your admin to enable Windows Update. Code 0x8024500C"


I've Googled and tried a few different things, but nothing has worked so far. Any ideas??


Thanks!

Error code 0x8024500C can't install or update apps from store Windows 10

Hi,

As soon as I try and download it comes up with the error. It says Try that again Error - See Details

The Error Code is 0x8024500C.

I have asked IT to do all of the steps that Andre Da Costa detailed and it still does not work.

Any thoughts?

 

Error code 0x8024500C

I work as a computer technician at a college campus, and we manage most of the school computers and laptops. It seems that we are given the Error code 0x8024500C when we try to download an app from the Microsoft Store such as Todoist. I have followed the
methods from here:

Error code 0x8024500C can't install or update apps from store Windows 10

But it seems to not resolve the issue and tells us to try again later. We have no policies against blocking users from downloading applications from Microsoft Store, and was wondering if there was any solution to resolve this?

Hi Steven,

One of the possible reasons why you're getting an error code 0x8024500C is due to corruption in some system files. If the given steps on the thread didn't work for you, we therefore suggest that you re-register Windows Store app. To do so, follow the steps
below:

• Click the Start Menu.
• Select Command Prompt. (You may be asked for User Account Control permissions, select
  Yes.)
• Copy and paste the following command, and press Enter key;

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

Once done, you may restart your system. The issue that you're facing with Windows Store app should be resolved now.

Let us know how it goes.
