    Errors updating Windows and installing apps


    I did a refresh on my Windows 10 desktop the other day, to see if it would free up space on my boot drive by eliminating stuff I didn't use. That seems to have worked, but I am getting errors in Windows update:

    and also installing MS Store apps:

    I have tried re-booting, signing out/in of account, downloading and running Windows Update troubleshooter, and clearing Windows update cache with batch file that: stops BITS, stops Windows Update service, deletes cache and re-starts Windows Update service and BITS.

    None of those steps fixed my problems, and I am open to suggestions as how to fix this

    :)

  2. Apps not installing on Windows 10

    Hi Nicole,

    Welcome to Microsoft Community.

    I understand your concern. Let me help you to fix the issue.

    To assist you better, please provide us more information.


    • Which Windows 10 build is installed on your system?

    • Which app are you trying to install?

    • What is the complete error code do you received?
    • Is this issue specific to a app or all the apps?
    Let’s try simple steps troubleshooting steps and check if this helps in resolving the issue. Follow the below methods.

    Method 1.

    At first, I suggest you to check if any Windows update is pending. (If yes, install all the Windows update).


    • Type update on the Windows search bar and select Check for updates.
    • Now click on Check for updates button, it will automatically detect the Windows update if pending.
    Method 2.

    I suggest you to run Windows app troubleshooter, this tool can automatically identify and fix some problems with apps and the Store. Visit the below link to run app troubleshooter.

    http://download.microsoft.com/download/F/2/4/F24D0C03-4181-4E5B-A23B-5C3A6B5974E3/apps.diagcab

    Also, I suggest to update the Windows store manually.


    • Open Windows store, click on your account on top right corner.
    • Select Download & updates and click on Check for Updates.
    Hope this helps. Let us know the result.

  3. The error code is 0x80070002 (windows 10 app store, new app installation issue "try again later")

    Do let us know if the issue persists with Windows Updates as well?

    The error: 0x80070002 occurs when some files in the Windows Update are missing, even though the update is downloaded and extracted successfully. Try the below troubleshooting steps and check if it helps.

    Windows Update troubleshooter resolves problems that prevents you from updating windows.

    Steps:

    • Press Windows + X, click on Control Panel, select
      Category and then select Large or Small icons.

      in the left pane.
