free apps on windows 8.1 will not install error code: 0x80070005

Yes and yes, it's the Microsoft Solitaire Collection and Wordament. Some how I had deleted part of a file that affects my update registry on my desktop. I found it in my recycle bin, so when I tried to restore the file, I have no clue what happened to it.
I was able to reload a couple apps that disappeared, but I still get the error code on those 2. The solitaire game is on my laptop. My laptop had a few issues but my grandkids use it all the time. Since my laptop and desktop are both 8.1, I've made an sfcdetails
on both but have no clue what and how to transfer files from one to the other. All the files in the laptop were corrected but the desktop couldn't revive itself. When I turn on my laptop it always asks me about my registry, I can't find the numbers, but I
will someday. If you steer toward an easy way from what I've done so far would be great.

Thanks for responding,

Is it any specific apps from the Windows/Microsoft store that aren't working? Do you have the latest Windows 8.1 update?

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?

I reinstalled Windows 8.1 after upgrading to Windows 10. Now I am having trouble installing Microsoft Solitaire Collection. The error reads, "Something happened and this app couldn't be installed. Please try again. Error code: 0x80073cf3" I looked
up the error code on the XBOX.com Web site. It means that the same program is already installed. However, this program is not listed in my list of installed apps. There is probably a registry editor trick that will solve the problem.
