Hello,

The error code 0x80073CFE is associated with issues with the Microsoft Store and can be caused by various factors, including corrupt store cache, user account problems, system file corruption, etc. Here are several steps you can try to check this issue:

1、Go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot.

Find Windows Store Apps and run the troubleshooter.

2、Reset the Microsoft Store Cache:

Press Win + R on your keyboard, type wsreset.exe, and press Enter.

The Store will open automatically once the reset is complete.

3、Re-register the Microsoft Store:

Open PowerShell as Administrator.

Copy and paste the following command and press Enter:

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

4、Check for Windows Updates:

Ensure your system is up to date by going to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update and checking for updates.

5、Create a New User Account:

Sometimes, creating a new user account can solve issues related to user profiles.

Go to Settings > Accounts > Family & other users > Add someone else to this PC.

Follow the instructions and switch to the new user account to see if the problem persists.
