Windows 10 Store Error 0x80072F8F When Trying to Download Apps

Hi Nyima,

Thank you for your prompt reply. In answer to your questions,

1. The only error message I get is "Try that again"



2. I haven't changed the computer, as far as I know. I'm using a laptop, so no new hardware or anything. This is the first time I've tried to use the Windows Store.

3. Windows 10 is activated.

Continuing on to your other suggestions:

"I suggest you to refer to the below Microsoft Help Article and check if it helps.

Refer to the section: A security error occurred. (Error code: 0x80072F8F)

Get help with Windows activation errors - Microsoft Support "

The date and time are correct, as is the time zone. The Network Troubleshooter didn't find any problems. A restart didn't solve the problem.

"Also try to run Windows Store apps troubleshooter from the below Microsoft Help Article and check if it helps.

Fix problems with apps from Microsoft Store - Microsoft Support "

The Windows Store apps troubleshooter from the above link provided me with this all-clear:





Are there any other methods for solving this issue? I'd like to use the apps in the Windows Store but none of them will download-- after trying to download 5 different apps, I always get the same Error 0x80072F8F message.

Puzzling. Tends to suggest permissions errors or other corruption.

As a matter of routine, please run these basic checks.
a. Check your disk e.g.
HD Tune (free) Health and Error scan tabs (e.g. from Softpedia).
b. If ok, run
chkdsk c: /scan
from an admin command or Powershell prompt
c. if ok, run
SFC /SCANNOW
similarly
