Sea of thieves won't install.

Question

Sea of thieves won't install.

Anonymous

After the latest sea of thieves update, I haven't been able to update / reinstall the game. I receive the error code: 0x87E0000F

I have followed all of these steps to no avail:

Press the Windows key and try CMD and run as Administrator. Enter this command and press enter.
netsh winhttp reset proxy

Make sure that Direct access says "No proxy server".

Ensure that you are on the most recent version of the Xbox app
Microsoft Store app > Downloads > Get updates/Update all
Ensure that you have updated your PC to the most recent version of Windows, including optional updates
PC Settings > Windows Update > Check for updates > Install

-Then check your PC's date and time settings.
Your PC will need to have an accurate date and time value to be able to establish a connection.
On your PC, press the Start button, then select Settings.
Select Time & Language > Date & time.
Under Set time automatically, make sure the button is set to On.

Press the Windows Key + S and type Microsoft Store and then click on App Settings.
Repair and Reset the App.

Then do the same with the Xbox App

Restart the device to apply the changes and sign back in using the same email on the Xbox app And Microsoft Store App.
Go to Start menu > Settings > Network and Internet > Advanced network settings > Network reset.

Hi Jessica, thanks for reaching out. My name is Bernard, a Windows fan like you. I'll be happy to help you out today, my timezone is UTC +8.

I understand the issue you have, there is nothing to worry I am here to assist. The error means there is a corrupted Xbox app file on the PC, In this case, kindly follow the steps below:

Method 1. Repair Xbox app and built-in apps:

Press the Windows key + X, then select Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Windows Terminal (Admin)

Copy, paste, and enter 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.

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.

Note: before doing this make sure to create a restore point: https://support.microsoft.com/en-hk/help/402753...
