Solution(s) for error code 0x80240437?

Question

Methods one through four have been tried and failed.

Answer 1

Here is what worked for me:

1. Log in with an Administrator account
2. Stop the following services via Computer Management > Services and Applications > Services:

• Application Experience
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service
• Windows Store Service (WSService)
• Windows Update

3. Once those services are stopped, open up Windows Explorer
4. Go to: C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution
5. Delete the contents of this folder
6. Restart the following services via Computer Management > Services and Applications > Services:

• Application Experience
• Background Intelligent Transfer Service
• Windows Store Service (WSService)
• Windows Update
• OR -

Restart your machine 7. Head over to Windows Store and everything should work. Also run Windows Update as it will need to rebuild its 'check list' of patches.

I hope this helps some of you folks out there.

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Venning,

1. Are you on a domain network? The other thread which you have provided suggests to be on a Corporate network.
2. Have you followed the suggestions provided in my previous post?
3. Have you checked if the date and time is set correctly on the computer?

Follow these methods:

Method 1: Run the DISM tool:

a.       Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.

(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)

b.      Enter command prompt in the search box.

c.       In the list of results, swipe down on or right-click Command prompt, and then tap or click Run as administrator.

In the Administrator: Command Prompt window, type the following commands. Press the Enter key after each command:

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Scanhealth

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealth

d. To close the Administrator: Command prompt window, type Exit, and then press Enter.

Method 2: If that does not help, you may create a new user account and check. Create a user account
