Cannot install any apps from windows store

I have tried all tips from web about this problem including changing my region and language to United states re-install the apps app re-installed the media packs etc
I still get "Try again Later - something happened at our end" this must be the most annoying error message ever.
After a year of running windows 10 I still cant install any apps . every day I get a little bit nearer using Linux it's only one or two programs that won't run on it that is stopping me.
Please can some one help?

thanks
Mike

There are 4 links below my signature
The one that comes up once I post
SFC /Scannow etc

Thanks I have run the scannow command and it came back with no integrity violations.
I did the DISM repair windows image test as well and came back with "No component store corruption detected"
I am a bit worried about doing repair install ! I don't want to lose anything.should I do it?
Would the Icon cache repair be worth doing?

Mike

With a repair install you'll not lose anything (you keep your documents and settings and it will re-install the default Windows 10 apps) but I doubt it would help with the Store not working. Nor would rebuilding icon cache. You could try it of course.

You could try repairing the store ( + Rthen type wsresetin the run box and press <enter>).



What might be interesting is whether it is your account that is corrupted rather than Windows.

Do you sign on using a Microsoft account (email address)?

What happens if you make a new user on your PC? Can you install Store apps on that account?

See User Account - Add in Windows 10 - Windows 10 blog to add a new administrator type account.

I tried changing my account from a local to an outlook account and this at first seemed to work as I didn't get the error and it started downloading.
But it didn't last long it came back with error 0x80240438.
I googled that and tried disabling IPV6 in the network and rebooting and got a different error - tried again and got error 0x80240438 again.
I wonder if it's worth it?

tried resetting winsock now
same error!

Hopefully in your case the upgrade due 2nd August might fix it as it seems something in the Store App has messed up

Hope so but I doubt it ;(

thanks for your help anyway
