error code: 0xC002001B in the Microsoft store when trying to update. (Windows 10)

Question

When I try to install or update an app from the Microsoft store I get an error with error code: 0xC002001B. I have tried different things already but none of them work. For example I tried making a new user account which didn't work. I tried to Reset Store Cache which also didn't work and I tried to run Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"} in Windows PowerShell (Admin) which gave me red error messages in Windows PowerShell (Admin). Are there any other solutions to this problem?

Answer 1

FYI: The out-of-band updates from May 19, 2022 claims to fix that bug - as far as I combined - see my discussion within the following blog post.

Windows out-of-band updates (05/19/2022) fixes AD authentication error and Store installation error

Answer 2

That's one bad solution

Answer 3

updating to windows 11 fixed the problem

Answer 4

That's one bad solution

Agreed! Upgrading to a new Os should NOT be a solution

Answer 5

updating to windows 11 fixed the problem

Yeah, that is one of the solutions on other forums, they were forced to upgrade to Windows 11.

I have the same problem that occurred the same time as you, around 06-May-2022. Some apps do push through if you are patient in multiple tries. I got at the start, 30 apps that had this error, not it's down to 17. But on another device, it is 25 apps and it does not budge, still 25 a week later.

Was holding off on Win11 until next year, but maybe it is time to pull the trigger on the upgrade.
