    Hey I just tried what the other guy said and none of it worked and I didnt feel like doing the windows in place upgrade. It's because you don't have enough space on your disk. You have to clear up enough space and then restart your computer. This fixed my issue.

    "a Windows fan?" You can't be serious.

    None of the above steps worked. I have even uninstalled and reinstalled Xbox and Xbox Live. I have repaired and reset Xbox App, Xbox Live, Game Bar, Microsoft Store and Call of Duty itself. Nothing. I have ample space on my PC (over 800GB free).

    Uninstalled Call of Duty and am now 100% unable to reinstall it as it give as the same error "something unexpected happened."

    Hi, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, I usually reply between 10:00 pm & 6:00 am EST(UTC -5) Monday to Sunday.

    I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to help, this issue occurs when there is a corrupted system file on the Xbox app and Microsoft Store, for us to sort out the issue, kindly follow the steps below:

    Method 1. Repair Windows Store and Xbox app:

    On Powershell(admin), copy and paste the command below:

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Then hit Enter, once the process is done, restart the PC and check.

    Method 2. Repair update components

    Open Powershell with Admin or CMD with Admin (Press Windows key + X then click Windows Powershell(Admin))

    Copy each line of command to Powershell then press enter (one line at a time)

    net stop bits

    net stop wuauserv

    net stop appidsvc

    net stop cryptsvc

    Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"

    rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q

    rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q

    regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll

    regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll

    regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll

    netsh winsock reset

    netsh winsock reset proxy

    net start bits

    net start wuauserv

    net start appidsvc

    net start cryptsvc

    -Once done restart the device and check.

    If none will work from the above solution, I suggest doing an in-place upgrade wherein it will upgrade the device to the latest version and repair all issues without deleting any files.

    Kindly follow the steps from this link:

    Bernard
