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
