    Good morning(my time anyhow) Shawn.
    I have been looking around the net, and stumbled upon a possible(but not always guaranteed) fix for when the Store updates "stick" or freeze. Maybe you'll want to see if you can do anything with it:)
    Code:
    net stop bits
    net stop wuause
    net stop appidsvc
    net stop cryptsvc
    Ren %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution
    SoftwareDistribution.bak
    Ren %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 catroot2.bak
    net start bits
    net start wuauserv
    net start appidsvc
    net start cryptsvc
    pause
    Here is the batch file I created for it: StuckStore.zip

    Thank you Cliff. In addition, resetting the Store cache may sometimes help when you are having issues with installing or updating Store apps in Windows 10.

    Your welcome Shawn, I usually either use wsreset(I made a shortcut from System32) or what usually helps is a simple reboot or open task scheduler tree and Idown to WS an run both. I was just curious on your take of that bat file from the article.

    That would basically reset Windows Update, so it could help if there's an issue with Windows Update causing the Store updates to not work properly.

    So it's just the long(geek) way to do wsreset? If yup, then I'll stick to my shortcut:)

    It's different than wsreset, but whatever works though. :)

    Ok got it, thanks... anything that keeps me from having to reimage(reinstall what's that) and wasting 7 1/2 minutes of my life can be helpful

    i solved the problem. the error code is 0x80070005.
    go to C:\user/Bill/ app data/local/packages.
    right click on packages , then click take ownership which i have on my menu.

    One thing I've always been curious about but never asked is whether the Store also checks for updates for the Settings app itself, or whether they only exist via Windows Update. I never use any Store apps, so I have uninstalled everything except for apps that include "store" in it as a backup. Should I even bother keeping the auto update/checks for Store apps or keep the Store app installed in this case?
