Unable to reinstall Windows Web Experience Pack on Windows 11

Hi, Tom_183

Welcome to the MicroSoft Community.



If you're experiencing issues reinstalling the Windows Web Experience Pack on Windows 11 and encountering error code 0x803FB005, there are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:

1. Reset Microsoft Store: Resetting the Microsoft Store can help resolve installation issues. To do this, follow these steps:
   
   • Open the "Settings" app by pressing Windows key + I.
     
   • Go to "Apps" > "Apps & features".
     
   • Scroll down and click on "Microsoft Store".
     
   • Click on the "Advanced options" link.
     
   • Click the "Reset" button.
     
2. Clear Microsoft Store cache: Clearing the Microsoft Store cache can also help in resolving installation issues. Here's how:
   
   • Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog box.
     
   • Type wsreset.exe and press Enter.
     
   • This will reset the Microsoft Store cache, and then the Store will launch automatically.
     
3. Check for Windows Updates: Ensure that your Windows 11 operating system is up to date. Some installation issues can be resolved by installing the latest updates. You can check for updates by going to "Settings" > "Windows Update".
   
4. Try a different user account: Create a new user account with administrative privileges and try installing the Windows Web Experience Pack from that account. Sometimes, issues can be user specific.
   

If there is anything not clear or I can't understand your problem, please do not hesitate to let me know.

W10 can connect to wider internet but cannot access web pages

I have an odd issue with my W10 laptop linked to Sky broadband in the UK via wifi using a Sky router. The effect is that while I can actually access the internet (I can send and receive emails using Outlook and can connect to other machines using TeamViewer) I cannot access any web site (Google, BBC etc). There is no specific error message, merely that the access request timed out and a suggestion that it may be to do with proxy. I have tried the following:

1. Other systems (W10 and ios) can access web sites using the same Sky router (therefore probably not a router problem)
2. I have sent and received emails using Outlook, so the broadband connection is working (probably not a Sky problem)
3. I have tried two different browsers (Firefox and Edge), no connection (not a browser problem)
4. I am using Windows Defender and have:
   1. Made sure that Firefox is in the list of allowed systems in its Firewall, no connection after a reboot
   2. Turned off the Firewall and tried again - no connection

My next step will be to re-install Windows, but has anyone got any other suggestions? Could it be some sort of virus (I have carried out a complete virus check using Defender) So - any suggestions?

 

Can't download Windows Web Experience Pack from Microsoft Store. error: Something happened on our end

Windows 11 has been reinstalled on my laptop 3 days ago but the news and weather widgets only displays empty boxes when I click on the icon. I've read your post, uninstalled Microsoft Web Experience Pack but when I go the the Microsoft Store app there in no Microsoft Web Experience Pack listed. Do you have any idea what is going on and how to get that app back?
