Windows Store Issues

[Votivee]

Recently I cloned my old 1TB HDD and replaced it with a 1TB SSD. Ever since then I have been having trouble downloading from the windows store.

 

I have checked my storage settings and no matter where I set my download location for new games and apps I always end up with the errors below. Is there any way to fix this without a full reinstall of windows?

Have you tried deleting your Store database? I would make a copy of it just in case

I deleted file C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore\DataStore.edb and rebooted everything worked a new DataStore.edb file was created when the Store was launched after reboot all apps in queue downloaded Mail and Calendar now works

Cloning has no or a little error correction. Cloning is design to replicate 2x or more identical drive down to the firmware. Going anywhere beyond that asks to have file corruptions.

So, the above solution didn't work, but if anyone comes across this in the future this is what I did to fix it:

 

 

I simply searched the app that wouldn't install, and uninstalled it. Must be windows stores a file somewhere on the 'C' drive saying that the app is installed even though it wasn't installed on my other 'F' drive. (NOTE: These apps did not show up in installed programs in control panel. You basically have to search for them.)

 

 

After uninstalling the app and hitting the retry button in the store, the app downloaded without a problem.
