Error code 0x800706B5 with installing game`

what driver did you format?

Exact same error with Age of Empires and also Back 4 Blood on PC. I have tried to install on two different drives (including my OS drive) have 1T of free space on both. Tried all the tutorials on resetting and repairing the store and xbox apps. Windows is up to date - latest on Win 10. Have run the command line and power shell scripts in admin and reset. No joy!

I have other games that worked in the past without issue - perhaps there was an update that caused this?

Any help would be great.

My games are on a second partition drive. I reformatted the drive and now game installs work.... I guess it was a permission or registry problem. Just another issue with windows store / xbox app.
