  1. Unable to Use Microsoft Store – Error 0x80070422


    I'm experiencing a persistent and critical issue with Microsoft Store that makes it completely unusable. It began with an error message every time I tried to install or update an app from the Store. Immediately upon opening the Store or attempting any action, I receive the following error: " Something went wrong Please try again later. 0x80070422 " Even before I interact with the app, the error message appears. I have already tried the following solutions with no success: - Running wsreset - Repairing and resetting Microsoft Store via Settings > Apps - Restarting and verifying key service

    :)
     

  2. 0x80070422 Error

    The error code 0x80070422 means "The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it".

    Press Win + R, type services.msc and click OK. This opens the Services MMC.



    Inspect (and fix if necessary) the startup type of the following services and try to start them:



    • Windows Update [Start type: Manual]
    • Background Intelligent Transfer Service [Start type: Manual]
    • Update Orchestrator Service [Start type: Automatic (delayed start)]
    • Delivery Optimization [Start type: Automatic]

    If some services are missing or unable to start, post the names of the missing services or the error message(s) here.
