Windows 10: MS Store Errorcode 0x80131500, Tried everything again

Hi again, I am looking for a solution to this store errorcode problem. I have tried absolutely everything in the previous post I had which is located HERE.I tried 100% of every solution that was presented to me and had no luck solving this problem. It was so frustrating I abandoned Windows all together and went to Linux until today. I really want to solve this problem, the first thing I checked when I reinstalled windows before I had done any updates was the store. Then as I was doing updates periodically and all the same problem, errorcode with no store available. Any other suggestions no

:)

 

MS Store Errorcode 0x80131500, Tried everything

Hi, I am looking for solutions to fix MS Store errorcode 0x80131500. As my title says I have gone down and tried everything that is out there. I do not however have any troubleshooter listed in the Update & security section under settings. In the old control panel I did run every troubleshooter I had in there but none of them were specifically for the MS apps or the store and they also did not come up with any problems or solutions.

Now that being said here is everything I have tried...

Run services.msc and changed Background intelligence to auto

Run WSreset.exe

Re-registered all store apps

Tried making another admin account

Uninstalled and reinstalled MS Store

Performed a windows repair

and finally have performed a clean install at least 4 times.

Nothing is working... Any other suggestions that I could try?

2) I'll give you everything possible that works to fix the Store, based on helping to fix it daily for years here. Even if you've tried a step, please do it over in this sequence, as one or more steps will always work, and hopefully you won't need to do more than a few:

1) Try updating Store apps: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/account-bil...

Check also the Windows 10 Version number at Settings > System > About. If less than 1909 skip to Step 11 to upgrade to the latest by the most stable method.

2) Right click on the time and date in the far right corner of the taskbar. Choose Adjust Date and time settings, at the top make sure the time is correct. If it’s wrong, manually adjust it and make sure the sliders for Set time automatically and Set time zone automatically are set to on.

3) Re-register the Store app from Option 2 here: http://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/3175-apps-re...

4) Type Services in Search box, run Services app as Administrator, open Windows Update Service and Background Intelligent Transfer Service and Stop both.

Press “Windows (flag) key + R,” copy and paste C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\ press the Enter button.

This folder has all the files related to Windows updates.

Open the “Download” folder, select and delete all the files.

Restart Windows Update and Background Intelligent Transfer services in Services app by opening both and choosing Start.

5) Try running the Windows Store apps Troubleshooter in Windows Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > All Troubleshooters.

6) Type CMD in Search box, Run CMD as administrator, type WSReset.exe and hit Enter. Or in the Search type wsreset.exe select Run as administrator.

7) If that fails to fix the problem go to Windows Settings > Apps > Apps & Features to highlight Microsoft Store, choose Advanced Options, then Reset. After it resets, restart PC.

8) If that fails then try everything here:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

If that doesn't fix it then try the Marked Answer here:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

And if that fails install the Add Store (first in list) download from here:

GitHub - kkkgo/LTSC-Add-MicrosoftStore: Add Windows Store for LTSC

or skip to Step 11 below to reinstall WIndows including the Store while keeping your apps, files and most settings in place..

9) Clear the LocalCache Folder: Open Run by pressing the Windows key + R hotkey.

Copy and paste %localappdata% in Run and click OK.

Open Packages> Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe > LocalCache folder.

Press the Ctrl + A hotkey to select all content within the LocalCache folder.

Press the Delete button.

10) Type services.msc in Search box, choose Run as Administrator, from Services tab ensure that Microsoft Store Install Service is started and set to Manual, if not restart PC.

Alternative methods to work through the above steps here:



11) Next do everything in Step 10 of this checklist:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/for...

12) If nothing else works then do a Repair Install, which reinstalls Windows while saving your files and apps in place, brings it up to the latest version by the most stable method, takes about an hour and resolves most problems: https://www.tomshardware.com/how-to/fix-windows...

Cant download ms Store aaps_Microsoft Store Error Code: 0x80131500

Hi,

- and is UAC on or had you disabled it?

- do you mean there was an error, or that it completed successfully and didn't help?

Have you changed any permissions e.g. to the Windowsapps folder?

Similar here - which lists ideas that don't work...so can be skipped.

Do you see the same problem, or not?
(If not = an in-place upgrade repair install is not likely to help)


This is a useful diagnostic test, also suggested in the link I quoted.
