I am attempting to install Windows Subsystem for Android on Windows 11 Pro (ms-windows-store://pdp/?productid=9NJHK44TTKSX). The Microsoft store is giving me this error message each time I attempt to install it.

There has been an error. Code: 0x80070490

I have followed various guides suggesting fixes including sfc /scannow and dsim.exe commands, all to no avail. WSReset.exe has also been tried. I have attempted with and without real time virus protection enabled. I have even found a method to download the msixbundle file in this article. Unfortunately, this produces the same outcome. Error code 0x80070490

    Hello there,

    Is there anything in event viewer?

    I would suggest you to use proc mon to identify if there is nothing on the event viewer.

    The Windows Subsystem for Linux only runs on your system drive (usually this is your C: drive). Make sure that distributions are stored on your system drive:

    On Windows 10 open Settings -> System -> Storage -> More Storage Settings: Change where new content is saved

    Hope this resolves your Query !!
