Try to inspect the folder:<\/p>\n<p><em>C:\\Windows\\SoftwareDistribution\\DeliveryOptimization<\/em><\/p>\n<p>for this downloades App file. My MVP colleague Ian Dixon has discussed this issue <a href=\"http:\/\/thedigitallifestyle.com\/w\/index.php\/2016\/04\/06\/how-to-fix-windows-store-app-install-error-0x80073cf0-in-windows-10\/\">here<\/a>. Deleting the cached file within the folder is a possible solution for this issue. Another approach is to stop Windows Update service and rename:<\/p>\n<p><em>SoftwareDistribution <\/em>to <em>SoftwareDistribution.old<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This could be done in an administrative command prompt (see <a href=\"https:\/\/web.archive.org\/web\/20210512202711\/https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2016\/07\/06\/windows10-open-command-prompt-window-as-administrator\/\">Windows 10: Open command prompt window as administrator<\/a>) using the following commands.<\/p>\n<p><em>net stop wuauserv<\/em><br \/>\n<em>rename c:\\windows\\SoftwareDistribution softwaredistribution.old<\/em><br \/>\n<em>net start wuauserv<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Press Enter key after entering each command. Then check, whether the App will be updated again.<\/p>\n<h3>Do a system file check<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ssl-vg03.met.vgwort.de\/na\/94084b2b5eaf419283b98d64e5191fb0\" alt=\"\" width=\"1\" height=\"1\" \/>To assure that not a damaged Windows file is the root cause for this issue, try to run a system file check using (see <a href=\"https:\/\/borncity.com\/win\/2016\/07\/08\/check-and-repair-windows-system-files-and-component-store\/\">Check and repair Windows system files and component store<\/a>).<\/p>\n<h3>More things you can try<\/h3>\n<p>If the fixes proposed above, doesn't cure the issue, you can check the following topics.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>If third party antivirus software or firewalls are installed, uninstall these tools and run a vendors clean tool. Reboot and check, if the issue is solved.<\/li>\n<li>Try to uninstall the app viel contextmenu and reinstall the app from store again.
