Can't install games on my pc (Error code: 0x80070005)

MagicBanana223 · Dec 9, 2021

Every time I try to install a game on my computer, once the game reaches 100% install progress, it stops and there is an error message by the game. I have restarted my computer multiple times and it didn't fix the issue.

Hi,

Error 0x80070005 is an 'access denied' error code. It means that games and apps can't be installed due to file access restrictions.

Did you use D:\ drive on a previous PC or previous install of Windows 10?

Games and Apps on Windows 10 Store install to a folder called 'WindowsApps', if this folder already exists on your drive, you won't be able to install games.

Hi,

Error code 0x80070005 is an access denied error. Did you take this other drive from a different PC or previous Windows install?

Hi! Yes I have bought the game through the game pass for PC. The error codes I receive are as followed;

1. 0x80073d0d

2. 0x803fb107

3. 0x80070005

It also doesn't want to install the "Digital Ownership" since it need Admin privileges. Which my PC and current user do. I can't find a way to solve that issue as well.

I did all of those steps and my games will still not install.
