Store error code 0x80050007 when re-installing app

Question

Twitter app installed and running well. AVG detected a problem so ran the AVG fix. Could not access Twitter after this so uninstalled the app. However, when I came to re-install Twitter I got Error code 0x80050007.

I have looked at the community posts but as a complete idiot when it comes to computers I have to admit I would be terrified to try to use some of the fixes. Does anyone know a simple fix?

Thank you.

**Note:**The Modern app troubleshooter is a built in troubleshooter that can detect and fix most of the app errors automatically. So, I would suggest you to download and run the Modern app troubleshooter to fix any app errors.

Note: The Windows Store will automatically notify you if there’s a problem with an app and try to fix the problem. If you continue experiencing problems with an app, or if you're unable to open the Store, try running the Apps troubleshooter. This tool can automatically identify and fix some problems with apps and the Store. It's only available in English, but will work on PCs running any language.

Note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you shouldn't disable your antivirus software. If you have to temporarily disable it to install other software, you should re-enable it as soon as you're done. If you're connected to the Internet or a network while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.
