Windows 10: Windows Store will not install any apps. Something happened on our end, try again later.

Hello,


I am trying to install a simple app The new free Windows Terminal and am having serious problems with the windows store and have now wasted a week’s worth of time trying every recommended suggestion, and still nothing works. The same problem also happens for any other app I try to install. Every time I go to install an app, it says “Please try again later. Something happened on our end.”


Also, If I click on the Settings button in the store, the program crashes.


This shows that something is fundamentally broken in the Windows store on my machine.

I would really like to get this solved without having to reinstall Windows.

This post will involve greater detail than what has been presented before, and will likely need a developer to get involved.

Please provide this support to me because the benefit to Microsoft is that they will be able to finally fix this bug.


I have tried every single recommendation that people have been giving since 2016 and not a single one makes any difference.


To recap, the following were tried multiple times and none worked:


-Running wsreset.exe as administrator

-Ensuring IPv6 is enabled for my wireless network adapter

-Deleting user cache from AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache

-Running powershell script to reinstall many programs using the Xml manifests

-Disabling anti virus defender and firewall

-Inspecting HOSTS file, ensure nothing funny is in them

-Manually checking for windows updates and installing all of the latest updates

-Rebooting multiple times

-File system check with sfc

-Logging in and out of my windows store account I just made a junk account at outlook.com to do this

-Creating a second outlook account for store and trying that one instead

-Ensuring my local account is an administrator

-Running Windows troubleshooter and Store troubleshooter


After a week, nothing worked. So I decided to go into the system logs to see if any useful information was reported. I traversed to this location:


Applications and Service Logs > Microsoft > Windows > Store > Operational


And cleared the log. Then, with the store running, all I did was click “Install” on the app I want and saw the log get populated with several messages. They follow in order below:


Page action fired for Windows Terminal Preview with behavior Install.

Function: StartAndLogOperation

Source: C:\BA\77\s\src\Tasks\WinStoreTasks\WebApis\ProductActionApis.cs 306



So clearly the offending event is this one:


InstallManager-BeginInstall threw exception for app 9N0DX20HK701.


Which is occurring on line 452 of a file named DefaultAppInstallManager.cs


Can you please flag down a developer and try to find what exactly the exception is that’s being thrown?


I am a senior developer myself who has been working with MS products for over 20 years. And a generally good practice is to actually log the Message portion of an exception so a troubleshooter can see what exactly went wrong. However, with the current log, all it tells us is *where* the problem happened, and not *why* it happened.


As I stated above, I have lost a full week on this problem and would very much like to have it resolved. I am happy to talk offline via email or other method with a developer to get this fixed, whatever it takes.


Thank you.

These steps did not help my issue with the Windows Store. Are there any other suggestions?
