    Hi,

    What's your system version? (run "winver" command could check version number)
    Did the issue occur on your download process or install process?
    Are there any error codes recorded in the Event Viewer(Windows Logs\Applications, Setup, System)?

    As error message 0x80072ee7 means The server name or address could not be resolved.

    Please refer to the link below to change the DNS server address and check the issue again.

    Just in case anyone runs into this problem in 2023, try disconnecting from your VPN.

    I couldn't download or update apps from the MS App store if I was on VPN.
