    What does the error message say, exactly? As ppavle said, an Office repair is often an appropriate first line of attack.

    Which version of Office are you trying to install from the Microsoft Store? Usually, full versions that run under Windows must be installed from the associated Microsoft account at https://account.microsoft.com/services .
