Aug 29, 2017  I recently purchased an MS Surface Book and cannot download anything from the MS Store. This came about after MS did a Win 10 upgrade from 1607 to 1703. When I click. But it also won’t download to any of my Win 7 PCs either as the store seemed to know I am not on Win 10 when I try. Can't log in or download apps in Windows Store in.

• [Help] Windows Store won't download any Apps (self.Windows10) submitted 3 years ago * by Clawdite Whenever I open the Store and try to download a new App, it gets added to the queue but never actually download.

They’re limited to apps downloaded from the Store app. In fact, you won’t even see apps that run on Surface Pro or Surface Pro 2. To add new apps to your Surface, follow these.

I have Windows 10, and the store won't connect to the internet. The funny thing is, all my browsers (including Edge) work fine. Not only is the store not working, neither is Cortana, and I can't connect a Microsoft account to the computer. The problem is the same for other accounts.

Here's a screenshot:

As you can see, Chrome is working perfectly (Firefox is too, but it's just hidden), while the Windows store is having problems with internet.

According to TheWindowsClub.com website article and this question, if Windows UWP apps (Store, News, Edge, etc) are not able to connect to the internet with Error 80072EFD, then you might need to enable IPv6 if it's disabled.

Experienced the 0x80072efd problem. Has cost me hours if not days to solve. The solution that gave instant resolution is the following command from a admin command prompt:

netsh winhttp reset proxy

Windows Store Won't Download Apps Windows 10

Windows Store: 0x80072F8F - Unable to download Apps

Hey, /r/Windows10. I've come with another issue.

As of recent, I'm unable to download apps from the Windows Store. I recently bought Gears of War 4, but since, I've have 'Starting Download', followed by the error of '0x80072F8F'.

Windows Store Wont Download Anything 2017

A lot of the sites I've tried to troubleshoot the error are regarding either time changing, or Windows Activation. The former has been tried for a fix to no avail, and the latter is irrelevant as it states my Windows is activated anyhow.

Current steps tried to fix problem:

• Change time of computer, no change

• Tried another app to download, returned same error

I was wondering if any is having this issue currently, has had it, or knows the fix to it.

Thanks!

EDIT: Seems I haven't been able to update from the 25th of February either. Didn't notice that.
