Hello Luan c, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox. All users help each other with common problems.

I am very sorry for the problem you are going through, with the intention of being able to help you, I did an internal search in Xbox support and I found a publication, where it mentions a series of steps to fix this error (0x80070490) and I thought it was good information, which you should consider:

Solution 1:

Xbox console

Turn off your Xbox by pressing the Xbox  button on the front of the console for about 10 seconds, until it turns off completely.

Disconnect the power cable from the console. Wait ten seconds.

Plug the console's power cable back in.

Press the Xbox  button on your console to turn it on again.

Windows device

To turn your Windows device on and off, press and hold the power button for 10 seconds until it turns off, and then turn it back on.

Additionally, to resolve error 0x80073cf9, do a little research and on one page they suggest trying the following solutions:

Solution 1. Reinstall Windows Store

Many people have reported that reinstalling the Windows Store app has helped them overcome error 0x80073cf9. If you want to try this option, you may need the 10AppsManager app. Once you delete the application, reinstall it through an Elevated command in PowerShell, which can be done as follows:

Click Windows key + R, type PowerShell and press Enter.

Right click on the search result and select Run as Administrator

Type Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* in the dialog window and wait for the command to execute.

Solution 2. Run a check with the antivirus

In case the previous method fails to fix Windows Store Error 0x80073cf9, try checking the system for malware. Keep in mind that PC infections can block access to various download sites, including the Store, which is why many people are unable to download anti-malware tools.

Therefore, our recommendation would be to install Reimage and run a check. This tool will check for malwares as well as registry errors, corrupted system files, and other Windows 10 issues.

Solution 3. Clear Windows Store Cache

Click Windows key + R, type WSReset.exe in the dialog window and press Enter.

After this, the Command Prompt window and the Windows Store should appear on your screen. This means that the Windows Store cache has been cleared.

Solution 4. Restart Windows Update services

In case you are trying to download Windows Updates from the Store, but each attempt results in Error 0x80073cf9, you can try restarting Windows Update services on the system.

Click Windows key + R and press Enter.

Type services.msc in the dialog box and press Enter.

Right click on Windows Update.

This command will cause Windows Update to start in case it has stopped for some reason.
After this, restart your PC.
