Windows 10: Microsoft Fresh Paint won't install, error 0x80240013

Yes, I think we have the same exact issue. On my machine Fresh Paint wasn't opening any more, so I tried to uninstall and reinstall it, but I've been getting error 0x80240013 ever since, and no installation of Fresh Paint has completed successfully, since it gets interrupted as soon as the download process starts. Apparently error 0x80240013 is related to the presence of duplicates in a list. Thank you for your contribution

 

I would highly recommend reinstalling All apps as follows

Click on Start menu
Type Powershell
Right click on Powershell and select to Run As Administator
Copy and paste the following into Powrshell and hit Enter

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

 

Sorry for replying just now, but I wasn’t around much lately. I need to ask you a couple things, before I go on and try your solution, because I’m not very sure I’m doing it right. Following advise at the link you kindly provided, I run the HTML Code: Get-Appxpackage –Allusers[/quote] command on Powershell, and a long list of apps came up, but no Fresh Paint there. So I concluded that apparently Fresh Paint is not among the preinstalled default apps. That said, do you think trying to reinstall the Windows Store package alone, as per HTML Code: Add-AppxPackage -register “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\<PackageFullName>” –DisableDevelopmentMode[/quote] command, would be of any use? Also, do you think that running HTML Code: Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}[/quote] that is the command for all apps which you proposed and looks promising, will reinstall Fresh Paint too, albeit not listed on my machine when executing "Get-Appxpackage –Allusers"?

Maybe Fresh Paint is installed on your machine right now. Running HTML Code: Get-Appxpackage –Allusers[/quote] would presumably give you the exact name of the package. I was wondering, if you shared the Fresh Paint PackageFullName here with me, and I inserted it in the HTML Code: Add-AppxPackage -register “C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\<PackageFullName>” –DisableDevelopmentMode[/quote] command, would that do the trick and reinstall Fresh Paint on my machine? If you could be so generous to provide me with the PackageFullName, I’d greatly appreciate it. Just to make an attempt and see if it works. Honestly I'd prefer to just reinstall the one problematic Fresh Paint app, instead of going through reinstalling everything, as I fear to break something else which is now working properly instead. Thank you for your precious help

 

I would recommend reinstalling all apps for best results which also reinstall the windows store. Then you can remove any apps you do not want using ccleaner.

 

Thank you everyone for your help. I decided to wait some time to see if Microsoft would fix the issue. Today I tried once again, and finally Fresh Paint installed correctly from the Store. Don't know if it was the recent updates or something else, but it worked, no error messages, no problems. Thank you again, all have a blessed day

 

Glad to hear it is resolved.
