Error 0x80070057, can't install any PC games, can only play a few currently installed

This is the ONLY game I play. Just got a new computer and can't install, error message 0x80070057.

HELP, I want my game back!!!!

Hi,
I recommend that you check that the games are installed correctly on your pc, and the games are played from the games library

I tried to reinstall Vampyr, and now I get error 0x80070057 when I try to install any games. This app is truly, truly awful.

I have just re-loaded Windows 8.1 on my PC, but now find that I cannot re-install Microsoft Solitaire Collection. It always fails with "couldn't be installed" message with error code 0x80070057.

Is there a fix or alternate action I can take??

Hi,

The Xbox App isn't a stand alone downloading app like for example, Steam or GoG. The Xbox App is simply a portal to allow you to download Game Pass games. The downloading is actually completed via the Windows Store.

Since Xbox App uses the Windows Store, error code 0x80070057 is actually a Windows 10 error code. There are many guides on the net to potentially fix this error, just google 'Windows error 0x80070057 like this
one

Note: You should not need to install any free applications on any of these sites.
If you do, you do so at your own risk.

Likewise, error code 0x80070005 is also a Windows 10 error often referred to as an 'access denied' error. If you get this error when trying to change where default applications are installed, it typically means there is already a folder on the drive from
a previous PC or Windows installation.

Did you take any of these drives from a previous PC or have you recently re-installed Windows 10 from scratch?

All Windows 10 Applications install to a hidden folder called WindowsApps. On the C:\ drive, WindowsApps is located in a hidden folder in C:\Program Files.
Do not attempt to modify this folder. On other drives the WindowsApps folder will be located in the Root directory. So on say F:\ drive it would be F:\WindowsApps.

Do you already have a WindowsApps folder in your F:\ drive?

I'm having issues installing Solitaire Collection too. I'm on a fresh new Win 8.1 Installation and wanted to install the game again but I just can't get it to install. It's the same with Minesweeper and Mahjong too. None of them can be installed. I always
get the 0x80070057 error.

I tried reinstalling Windows 8.1 again, I tried switching profiles, cleared the store cache many times and checked every setting there is with no change whatsoever.

Is this a Problem with the store itself?
