Microsoft Store can't install new apps

Today I tried to update the apps and all of them, including those brought back to the queue, didn't install and the Store showed the same issue message for all of them. However, the three apps I tried to install which showed that issue first now appear in the recently added apps list in the Start menu.

What's weirder, if I right-click on these three "problematic" apps, I get the option to uninstall them!
▼




The good news is that I succeeded to install Trio Office on my laptop.

My laptop version is Windows 10 Pro 21H1 19043.1469.

As to the desktop PC, which has that issue, I tried WSReset and resetting the Store via Settings TNA.

I found with other suggestions, like reinstalling the Store using PowerShell. I'll try that when I have time.

After trying what I said TNA, the repair install did it! Now the Store is OK and the apps I needed are installed. Thanks, steve108!

But... Hey, it's Microsoft!

I started to get this message, even with all the new Windows updates installed after the repair install.

What is that and how can I fix it? TIA.

 

Apps won't install in Microsoft Store

Hi,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



We understand your concern as you are unable to install apps in Microsoft Store. In order to get clarity and to assist you accordingly, please reply with the answers
to the questions below:

• 
  Do you have any non-Microsoft antivirus program installed?
  
• 
  Does this issue occur for all apps from the store?
  
• What is the date and time on the PC and ensure it is correct?

Meanwhile,
we would suggest you to perform these steps and after every step check if you are able to install the app.



Step
1: Reset the Windows Store Cache: Press the Windows
Logo Key + R to open the Run

Note:
A blank Command Prompt window will open, and after about ten seconds the window will close and Microsoft Store will open automatically.

check, refer this article to create
