Windows 10 store

[1518]

I am trying to download an app from the app store but every time it comes up with the error code: 0x80070005 How do i fix it?

Do you have any pending Windows updates? If so install them.

[1518]

Yes but it comes saying that i don't have admin rights (I do) ia have also tried doing it through the default Administrator account. There are also the printing and copy and paste bugs now

This is a UAC issue. Make sure your admin account is owner and has full control of the drives in your PC and the registry. Then try again

Yes but it comes up with the same error code.

Have you disabled Windows Update or messed with the service in any way?

Service that is responcible for Windows Update. This error happened to me before (aswell in the Store) because I had it disabled completely. In your case though im not sure whats stopping it.

I  haven't changed anything

I get this issue on a Windows Insider machine I have every now and then. Very annoying.

 

Try wsreset.exe, and if that doesn't work, try to uninstall, and reinstall the Microsoft store completely.

Thats funny because I get a completely different "error" it outright tells me i have windows updates disabled and therefore cannot get anything.

Could be handled differently now. Been a while since I stopped bothering to fiddle with the service; probably around the time Microsoft introduced additional things to manage updates.

I found this, first "solution" sounds most promising imo,  but you may try the others as well.

True,  could be, maybe it also depends how it's disabled, in my case when I go to updates in "action center" absolutely nothing happens (it's glorious)

I was having issues installing Xbox Game Pass games on PC. I was getting the 0x80070005 error code too. This post fixed the issue! Thanks Sweet Pea!
