Windows 10: Windows Camera app fails to take Document captures, reports error code 0xA00F42A8

I recently broke my Surface Go and sent it off for repair, and when it came back I thought nothing of it. It seemed to work fine. That is, until I tried to use the camera.

Windows 10 Camera App download error and fails to install (error code 0x80073B0f)

Hi Ratandeep,

As mentioned below this error is still active.

Both the Camera & Reading List apps try to download & install, but fails and I get the error code 0x80073B0f for the Windows Camera App.

When I locate the Windows Camera App in the Windows Store, it is however marked "installed". Perhaps this is the issues which needs to be resolved by the Microsoft 10 team (wasn't an issue with Windows 8.1 SL)

The Windows Reading List App is installed and works, but the Windows App Update, also wanted to download and install but I got an error code. Since the latest Windows 10 Updates the Windows Reading List App doesn't try to download & install anymore and works.

Kind regards,

Ian
