Windows Store: Error code: 0x80240438

Started this morning and cannot seem to sync app licenses or download any apps from the Windows Store.

Can confirm. Super pissed. Just bought a new tablet last night too, thought I had mucked something up with my Microsoft account when I was able to reproduce this on all my windows devices.
I lost 5 hours of troubleshooting / re-installing windows / tinkering, and nothing worked.

  • Windows 8.1 - Windows Store - Error Code: 0x80073cf9

    Hi All,
    After a quick Google search, it appears that I am not the only person who seems to be having issues with the Windows Store. Whenever I try to download certain games or apps, I receive the following error message: 
    "Something happened and your purchase can't be completed. Error code: 0x80073cf9"
    I have tried all of "quick fixes" such as recreating the "AUInstallAgent" and "AppReadiness" folders in C:/Windows, along with running the SFC/ scannow through Command Prompts, but neither of these fixed the issue. If anyone
    could please help me, I would greatly appreciate it.
    **NOTE: This error only appears when certain applications are downloaded specifically "Asphalt 8: Airborne". 

    I get the impression there's been an issue with the app store marketplace all day. Seen reports from friends via Twitter complaining about it, saying it's been down for over 10 hours.

  • Windows Store error code: 0xd00000bb

    Hello guys,
    so i changed my AppStore profile directory from C:/Programm Files/WindowsApps to D:/Programm Files/WindowsApps with the regestery.
    Now i get this error code: 0xd00000bb whenever i tried to install any app.
    Does anyone know where i can find the error codes and what they stand for? Or maybe how to fix this problem?
    Thank you guys
    ps: No i can't change it back to the C drive cause i got a small SSD on this drive...

    How did you change the location of windows apps? I think this issue might be related with some registry entries in your system, by default, windows has a "PackageRoot" string for entry "Appx" in registry, the default valudata is "C:\Program
    Files\WindowsApps".

  • App could not be installed from Windows Store, Error code:0x80240031

    i have tried many times but same error exits only with this app (Perfect 365), rest all apps are being installed easily and  are working.
    how can i install this app(Perfect 365) and what does this error code mean.

    I to am getting this error trying to update from Win 8 x64 Pro Upgrade edition to Win 8.1. Only using Windows defender and Windows Firewall. A couple things to note:
    1. My connection to the Internet on this machine is through my phone only, currently have no other means of reaching the Internet, so could this possibly be ISP related? Does the "Windows Store" use some other port rather than 80 or 8080? What ports
    does it use? No documentation on this...
    2. I ran a system refresh, same exact results. Using "sfc /scannow" finds no errors. I'm close to backing up and FFR-ing at this point.
    3. Updates through good old "Windows Update" from control panel install just fine. System (including drivers) are all up-to-date.
    4. Other app updates (for "Sports" "Music" and "Video" apps) will not install from the store either. These fail with 0x80072f8 though.
    5. Tried "wsreset" and got the same results. I'm admin on the machine and account is tied to my MS Live account.
    I'm at a loss here. Ideas?

  • Error code 0x80240438

    I just got a new computer and I cannot install any apps.. what do I do?

    Are you referring to yesterday's issue with the Microsoft Store. This isn't really a ConfigMgr issue but it a known issue. It was a Microsoft problem and should be solved now.

  • The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.

    Hi All,
      I am on MDM 5.5 SP6.
      I am getting the following error message when trying to logging in to the DM.
    The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.This application will now exit.
    Runtime Error :
    Program C :\Program Files\SAP MDM 5.5\Data Manager\Datamanager.exe
    R6025.
    -Pure virtual function call.
    And in console also the MDM server is stopped after getting the above error message.
    Can anybody tell me what could be the problem?
    Thanks & Regards
    Sireesha.

    Hi Sireesha,
    According to me, there can be 3 problems,
    1. Kindly check whether the MDM server is stopped. If it is, then restart the MDM Server and Load the repository with Update indices.
    2. If this error is coming with every repository, the problem will be either in the Version mismatch of the Server and the GUI's you are using. Kindly ensure that the versions for the MDM server and the MDM Gui's Match.
    3. If only Data manager Client is giving the problem, then you can un-install and install the DM GUI again.
    Along with this, please refer to the link below :
    [[The system cannot find the file specified.Windows sockets error code:2.;]
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks and Regards
