What causes error 0x''80070005, and how do I deal with it?

I've run into the "0x80070005" error before (mostly on Microsoft Store) and I managed through dumb luck to clear it much of the time. Right now, I have three MStore updates hung up with this error. I've seen quite a few articles out there that claim to clear the problem up, but little (if any) of their info seems to help, so let me ask three questions:

  1. What exactly (in layman's terms, if possible) causes the "0x80070005" error?
  2. How do I fix it (preferably once and for all)?
  3. How can (if I can) I prevent it from happening?

Thanks.
