Windows 10: Windows Store Error Code: 0x80073CF3

I've had a problem when downloading certain games from the Microsoft Store on my PC after getting the Game Pass a couple days ago. Every time I try to install some games, specifically The Outer Worlds, Dead Cells, and Dishonered, I get an error that says "Wait a few minutes and try that again. The update failed" followed by Error Code 0x80073CF3. The weird thing about it is that every other game I've tried, like Forza, Enter the Gungeon, and Hollow Knight, all download, install and play just fine. I've gone through Window's Online Chat and tried everything they told me to try, and looked online for any other solutions with no luck. Another thing I should mention is that all the games that don't work, I tried installing before updating Windows to version 1903 from 1803, and all the security and optional patches. I first got the error code when trying to install then, and kept getting it since; however, every other game I've tried downloading since updating has worked fine. This is disappointing since these games are the reason I got the Game Pass, and I'd like to be able to play them.
