Windows 10: Microsoft Store apps stuck on Error 0x80070002 "Something happened on our end" during...

I have already tried resetting the windows app store, repairing the windows app store, logging out of the store, using a different account on the store, uninstalling and reinstalling the windows store, and everything else short of another full system reset, which is an unacceptable fix to this problem.Affected apps are Xbox Gaming Services and the Minecraft Launcher. Normally I wouldn't care, but I paid money for Minecraft long before you incompetent fools took control of it, and you guys have now made it so installation is forced through the Microsoft Store.If this isn't taken care of I'll be

Tip - Microsoft Store Won't Update with Error Code: 0x80070002

I didn't know if this should fall under Tips & Tricks or not.

I was doing research for someone, and discovered that I had several Microsoft Store updates queued up that had been stuck in the middle of updating for the past 11 days with Error Code 0x80070002. I also could not install any new Microsoft Store apps. Windows Update in general was working fine.

TLDR: Booted computer into Safe Mode with Networking, opened Microsoft Store, closed Microsoft Store, then rebooted into Normal Mode. All Updates went through and apps could be installed again. I haven't seen this solution posted elsewhere.



Full details of other things that I tried:

Microsoft Store and apps have not been able to update since 4/30
Error Code: 0x80070002
I tried Troubleshooter
wsreset.exe
Reinstalling Microsoft Store from PowerShell - the PowerShell command did update the Microsoft Store itself, but I have 6 stuck apps.
Redownloading the apps or trying to install any new Microsoft Store app is unsuccessful.
Manually deleting from %appdata%
Running Storage Sense to clear temporary files in general
No program installation or Windows Update coincided with date that problem first started
Went to Apps & Features -> Microsoft Store -> did Terminate, then Reset
enabled Camera access to Microsoft Store - all other permissions were already enabled
Tried the sign out, wsreset, sign back in method:

signing in to different account and signing back in
Rebooted into Safe Mode with Networking, then restarted Windows into Normal Mode - now it is working *Smile

The computer has been rebooted several times since 4/30, when problem started
Windows Update in general is working fine
One app that I am trying to install, Office Lens, says that I own this app, but it won't install
Store version is 12005.1001.1.0
winver is 18363.815 Win 10 Home x64

Uninstalled apps stuck "installing" in Microsoft Store (MSN News)

Hi Will,

A corrupted Microsoft Store cache is one of the possible reasons why some apps are stuck in an "installing phase" when you try to uninstall them. We suggest that you try running the
Windows App troubleshooter to troubleshoot the issue.

If the issue persists, we suggest that you reset the Microsoft Store cache. You can follow the steps below to reset the Microsoft Store cache:

• Press Windows + R keys to open the run
  command box.
• Type WSReset, then try launching Microsoft Store and sign in.

Should you need further assistance, don't hesitate to get back to us.
