Key notes
Microsoft introduced us a while back to the concept of an application store for downloading and installing apps. From the Microsoft Store, we can easily download and/or update any apps made for Windows in just a few clicks.
But of course like any otherappthis has some errors either from installation or from trying to download anapp. We have compiled a list of the possible Microsoft Store errors you might encounter while using the app.
The error codes that you receive on Microsoft Store might be for several reasons like Error code 0x8024600e when trying to install or update Microsoft Store apps or Error code c101a006 when you might have a temporary server malfunction.
I will explain in a few lines what we can do to fix some of the error codes we get from the Microsoft Store when using Windows.
How can I fix Microsoft Store error codes?
Error code 0x8024600e
This error occurs when trying to install or update Microsoft Store.
Error code 805ab406
This will appear when you try to download an app.
Error code c101a006– Internal server error
If there is a server malfunction then this error will occur.Do the steps you did for the Error code 805ab406 above.
Error code 805a0193 – There is a problem completing your request
This error might pop up when you try to connect to a Wi-Fi network and you have wrong network settings.If there is a server malfunction you will have to wait for Microsoft to resolve it.If you have a Wi-Fi problem then try to connect to a different Wi-Fi and see if it works and verify that you have an internet connection.
Error code c101a7d1
This error usually appears when an application license is not listed in your history or it may also occur when a service malfunction prevents Store from checking the history. Another reason why you may get this error is when you update an app and the content of the license is not valid.
Error code d0000011
This error appears when the phone is manually unregistered from the optionRemove this phoneon www.windowsphone.com.
Error code 8000ffff – There is a problem completing your request. Try again later
This error will pop up when the app has been removed from the Store.The solution will be to uninstall the app and try to download it again.
Error code 805a01f7
You will get this error when there is a temporary server malfunction.Wait for the server to get back online and try again(no estimated time for waiting in this particular case).
Error code 805a01f4
This error is the same as the above. You will have to wait until the server is functioning correctly.
Error code 805a0194
Wait until the server is operational.
Error code D0000011
This specific error occurs when the phone was manually removed from windowsphone.com.
Do the same steps as Error code d0000011
Error code c101abb9
You will have to wait until the server malfunction is fixed.
Error code 0x80073CFB
In this case, the most common solution is deleting the Software Distribution folder. In case you’re not sure how to do that, just follow these instructions:
Error code 0x80073CF0
This error appears when a certain package fails to open. Therefore, you’re not able to download any apps or games from the Microsoft Store. To solve the error code 0x80073CF0, do one of the following actions:
Error code 0x80073CF2
This error usually appears when you’re trying to update a certain Microsoft Store app. It’s unlikely to appear when your downloading new apps.
To deal with the error code 0x80073CF2, try some of the following solutions:
Error code 0x80073D00
The list of Microsoft Store error codes continues with 0x80073D00. You’ll notice this error when you’re actually trying to open a certain app. The app will fail to open, telling you it can’t be openedbecause it’s currently updating. To resolve this issue, perform some of the following actions:
The same error code also appears on the Xbox One, and prevents apps from opening. Some people suggest resetting the console to default, or removing your profile and adding it again. However, you can also trythe Xbox One Diagnostics tool. Just follow the instructions, and hopefully, you’ll find what you’re looking for.
Error code 0x80073D01
According to Microsoft, this issue mainly occurs if a certain package deployment operation is blocked by policy. So, what does it mean? It means you did some dirty work in the Group Policy Editor, and blockedApplication Control Policiesor theAllow deployment operations in special profilespolicy.
If these policies are indeed blocking your apps, you’ll need to set up a Roaming User Profile on your User Account. Check Microsoft’sOfficial Guide for managing Roaming User Profilesfor additional info.
On the other hand, if no such policies are blocking your apps, the issue lays in your User Account. You’re either using a temporary User Account, or you’re signed-in locally. Either way, just log in with your ‘permanent’ User Account, and you should be fine.
Error code 0x80073CF4
I’m not sure if this qualifies as an issue at all. Simply, if you don’t have enough disk space on your hard drive to install a certain app, you’ll receive this error.
The obvious solution, in this case, is to clean your disk drive and free some space for the app you want to install. Windows 10 allows you to change the folder where the new apps are saved. So, if you don’t want to delete anything from your drive, you can always move the new app to another one.
And here’s how to do that:
Error Code 0x87AFo81
This problem occurs as soon as you open the Microsoft Store. It’s not specifically related to updating or downloading apps, but it affects the Store as a whole.
To resolve this problem, try some of the following workarounds:
