Error code 0x8024500C

Question

I work as a computer technician at a college campus, and we manage most of the school computers and laptops. It seems that we are given the Error code 0x8024500C when we try to download an app from the Microsoft Store such as Todoist. I have followed the methods from here: 

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows\_10-windows\_install-winpc/error-code-0x8024500c-cant-install-or-update-apps/9d5d112d-fbce-4af0-ad3f-6a70e06aefbd

But it seems to not resolve the issue and tells us to try again later. We have no policies against blocking users from downloading applications from Microsoft Store, and was wondering if there was any solution to resolve this?

Answer 2

Hi Steven,

One of the possible reasons why you're getting an error code 0x8024500C is due to corruption in some system files. If the given steps on the thread didn't work for you, we therefore suggest that you re-register Windows Store app. To do so, follow the steps below:

1. Click the Start Menu.
2. Select Command Prompt. (You may be asked for User Account Control permissions, select Yes.)
3. Copy and paste the following command, and press Enter key;

PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command "& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + '\AppxManifest.xml' ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}"

Once done, you may restart your system. The issue that you're facing with Windows Store app should be resolved now.

Let us know how it goes.
