    AppLocker Blocks Windows Store Apps Downloads


    Hello --

    I've Windows 10 Pro x64, and I did a clean install a few days ago because of a similar issue.

    Now, Windows Store does open up and installed apps run just fine; however, I'm not able to download new apps or update existing ones. Downloads get aborted with error 0x80073CF9.

    Event Viewer returns the following...
    Code:

    I've tried setting AppLocker to allow all signed packages to no avail. I've also tried "WSReset.exe" which doesn't seem to do anything. Further, I've created an "AUInstallAgent" directory under Windows.

    I believe it's a permission issue, because PowerShell throws an IOException error; therefore, I've tried changing permissions on various folders. I'm lost.

    Please advise.

    Had to reinstall the OS.

    I think the problem was that permissions didn't propagate thoroughly when I changed the name of my computer.
