Error Code: 0x80073D05, when trying to install the xbox app on PC

DeveloperMJ✔️ · Nov 7, 2021

I was going to try install back 4 blood when I noticed the app didn't want to work, I tried signing out and signing back in but that didn't work either, I then tried to uninstall the app and installing it again but now this error pops up. I have tried plenty of things like command prompt and powershell packages, resetting the windows store, setting time and date to automatic but the issue persists. Is there anything else I could possibly try?

ERROR Code : 0x80073d05

I've been looking into this one and it is very strange as that code, on a PC, indicates a Store issue but not on the Xbox it seems

Also interesting that the code isn't even listed on the Xbox codes page...surely they must have come across it before!!

I found a couple of older threads on the same error code, albeit both written by the same person on the same day:

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/xba_gapp/error-code-0x80073d05-on-xbox-one-x

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/error-code-0x80073d05-on-xbox-one-x

The upshot of this seems to be a full factory reset may be needed

The 0x80073D05 error might be caused by corrupted system files, so you can run a built-in tool called System File Checker and fix corrupted entries:

Type cmd in Windows search box.

Right-click Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.

Type the following command and click Enter: sfc /scannow.

Wait until the scan is over until and corrupted entries are fixed.

Hello Ricardo, thanks for the quick response but unfortunately that method did not work. The problem seems to be related to the Xbox app itself, not the Microsoft Store. I'm guessing there might be some sort of conflict going on with my previous installation of the app.

Hi Pedrohac! My name is Ricardo an independent advisor ready to help you with this situation!

Please check that you don't have any update pending in Windows update app

Go to Start > Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > Check for Updates.

Launch the Microsoft Store app and click on "Get updates" to ensure that all MS Store apps are updated as well.

If this doesn't work

At the command prompt, type the following then hit Enter:

Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Exit Powershell then restart.
