How to fix Microsoft store error "Something went wrong. we're aware of the issue and working to fix it. Try refreshing or come back later." Code: 0x80070005

Thank you for your response.
I just went to the STORE and received the message "something happened on our end."

I used the wsReset.exe command.

The download completed.
Thank you.

Mainly just the desire to not deal with all the potential incompatibly that comes with upgrading... I tend to work with some older software, and to have some of it just stop working would be a real hassle.

That and I feel like whenever I do something on windows 11 it has to pull up a window/popup from windows 10.

Interestingly though, this did solve my issues with 'App Installer' and a bunch of other apps. I still seem to have some lingering issues with 'Microsoft Photos' so I cant say I'm out of the woods yet... as of right now this is the only app that I've noticed that does not work.

I will update this thread again if I run into more solves.

Thank you

Hi

I have tried multiple options but cannot download Messenger - am still getting the error Code: 0x803FB005

Can you please help?

I am experiencing the same issue. I am unable to update or install new applications from the Windows Store. I have around 47 pending updates, and I believe the only solution is to perform a hard reset.

Before you restore your system give this a try: wsreset.exe .

Someone else suggested this (I can't locate that answer in this thread).

My experiences with the Store are getting much better and I often get updates to the Store app.

It appears that the Store also works in the background - I stalling updated apps.
