Wont install Sea of Thieves, error message 0x8024500c

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Yamakoshi, this happens by an error in the Microsoft store on your operating system, before installing Sea of Thievs or any other game, your system needs to be fully updated.

Try to follow these steps first to see if you can fix the store error and make the necessary updates.

Hi there!

I'm sorry you are to encounter disappointment with a Microsoft feature today.

In the case you can’t activate windows update (what I’d otherwise be advising) you may be helped on another product page, since Xbox specialist support may not be able to help with your specific query.

However you can troubleshoot the windows update from the below links, and that is as far as I will extend my help.

Windows 10

I hope this information is helpful.

i cant uninstall any games as there are no games installed. and my windows is fully updated.

edit: yesterday evening i succesfully installed sea of thieves but deleted it because othergames wouldnt install and now sea of thieves wont install either there are still some games in the recently installed tab in the start menu

Also the problem with the game not installing is only for sea of thieves but for other games they get installed but when I launch them it pops up with the error code 0x803f8001 while for sea of thieves it pops up when I try to install the game.

Sea of thieves decided to uninstall itself for some reason over night, making it so that I cant play Sea of Thieves today due to the long download time.

If I buy Sea of Thieves on Steam, can I play with the same account as on the xbox app version? That way I wont need to deal with the Xbox app or its version of Sea of Thieves.
