Question

When i open my microsoft store its says it needs an update but when i click the update button it says it cant update the app right now, it also says that the error code is 0x80070005.

Answer 1

Hi j4st1n3,

0x80070005 points to 'access denied'

In this situation running wsreset usually fixes the issue

Hit Windows Key + r to open a run box

type wsreset & select ok

This will reset the Windows Store app and possibly fix the issue

Hope this helps,
