Cant download ms Store aaps_Microsoft Store Error Code: 0x80131500

Hi,

Ran Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter - Suggested turning on UAC

- and is UAC on or had you disabled it?

wsreset.exe- didnt work.

- do you mean there was an error, or that it completed successfully and didn't help?

Have you changed any permissions e.g. to the Windowsapps folder?

Similar here - which lists ideas that don't work...so can be skipped.

Please create a new account for test purposes. Log in as that user.
Do you see the same problem, or not?
(If not = an in-place upgrade repair install is not likely to help)


This is a useful diagnostic test, also suggested in the link I quoted.

You can try changing your DNS as here:

Are you using a VPN or proxy server? Check


Thanks.

Hi Dalchina

Thanks for the comprehensive response,..

To answer your questions..

Yes i have disabled UAC ,..but it never stopped downloading from the store before,ill try turning it on.temporarily..

With wsreset.exe,..yes,it completed successfully but didn't help

I havnt changed any permissions that im aware of to the Windowsapps folder,etc..

i tried the administator account and had the same issue,..is it worth creating a third account,for a further test,do you think?..

yes i have vpn in browser and on desktop,but turning them of didnt make any difference..

Since the re register attempt,the store now gives,"this file doesn't have an app associated with it",etc,error..no doubt because the re register command failed?...

Also,i use a dns changer to go through Cloudflare or Google,but setting back to default didnt help,..

Yes,i see your thinking with the Superuser post,but this is my personal laptop,..not a work machine,..ill have a good read through,all the same,..

Thanks very much for your help,..ill go though the links you provided and report back..

Disabling UAC can have some unexpected consequences.

You are at risk of creating issues via the VPN etc..

For now, use a simple 'clean' configuration.

Yes, create a new user as stated and try that. That picks up the default settings. If that fails similarly, I suggest you perform an in-place upgrade repair install which keeps progs and data.
