I received same error code [Error: 0x80070003] when in Microsoft Store as installing free and paid applications/programs. I had to restart my computer to complete the downloads. It seems that my computer does periodical lock ups during updates (NO ERROR MESSAGES and/or warnings). Not sure if issues are connected but I believe I need to put it out there. Respectfully, K

Hello!

No, it is an internal path on your computer.

Open OneDrive, click the CBS log-file, press "Share".

Select "Get a link", choose an option "Public" , press the batton "Create link"

You'll see "Shared with everyone". You may create shorten link.

Copy this link to any text file and then to the Answers.

Close the "Get a link" Window.
