Windows store can't install any apps - error code 0x80070006

Question

I am currently unable to download and install any apps from the Windows store. Whenever I try to install, I get this error: 

I have tried all the solutions I could think of and/or find on the internet, including uninstalling/reinstalling the store via powershell, wsreset, creating a new user etc.

Does anyone have any further ideas what I could try to make the store work?

Answer 1

I would recommend that you perform a Windows 10 repair upgrade. Repair upgrade fixes all Windows errors and retains all files, applications and settings. (You will not lose any data while backup is a good idea) Below is a good guide to perform repair upgrade

I recall something like that, like I said, I messed around with powershell etc trying to get it to work. However, just to be sure, we can go through it again. What would you suggest I do next?

Answer 3

Sorry didn't realise that, do you recall running a command that I closed appxpackage

Answer 4

Hi, thanks for the quick reply.

Unfortunately, as I mentioned above, I have already tried this and it didn't work. Just to be sure, I tried it again just now, and am still getting the same error.

Hit enter.

Reboot the machine and try again
