    Hi all,I thought I'd fixed this by restoring to an old backup of Win10 Pro. No!Tonight Windows Store installed all the valid new updates, then once again tried to re-install the already installed version of Microsoft Photos, resulting in error Code: 0x80070005. Just like last time, it also RE-INSTALLED itself!!!! Store version 12107.1001.15.0With the greatest respect, please don't suggest the trivial solutions, such as resetting WS, running sfc /scannow, etc.I have tried every possible solution listed on the internet, even up to uninstalling WS and reinstalling via PowerShell.Nothing works

    :)

    Windows 10 Store Error Code 0x80070005

    Hello,

    Error code 0x80070005 generally occurs if access is denied. Suggest you to try creating new user account and check if Store works fine on that.

    Regards.
