XBOX PC says I have not enough disk space when I do 0x800073cf4

Christo_ffer · Jan 8, 2022

Hello. I've tried to install Sea of Thieves on my Windows 10 PC since yesterday but it is not working.

When I click the install-button the button immediately goes to a yellow progress bar that says 9% and it says that there was an error with the installation. It gives the error code 0x800073cf4, which means that there is not enough disk space. All the available disks has enough space with a minimum margin of 35GB towards the required amount. When I click the "resume download"-button it is removed from the list of downloads and the game-page for SoT has returned to the original state with the install-button resetted to original way where I can press it to install. Restarting it then repeats the cycle.

What I've tried so far:

1: Reinstall XBOX app

2: Install on all 3 available disks

3: Restart computer

4: Scout around the computer for any old rogue game files (I've had the game installed before)

I am out of ideas of what to do and I really want to install the game. Any help someone might provide would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

First check if windows 10 is up to date. Make sure your time and date are correct on your windows settings.

There is an "Optional Updates" button in the smallest print. Kindly check and go to driver, and download the existing drivers needed. Then restart, plug in the Receiver. Go to the same optional updates, and updated the driver.

Make sure that this is turned on "Receive updates for other Microsoft products when you update Windows" under Advanced Options

Check for store updates: Start menu, select Microsoft Store > More > Downloads and updates > Get updates.

If Updating the system doesn't help, I'll suggest you run a scan to check for problems and repair them.

Press Windows + R, type cmd, and press Ctrl + Shift + Enter to run Command Prompt as administrator. Next type sfc /scannow in Command Prompt window, and press Enter to start to scan and repair corrupt system files in Windows 10.

Getting all updates did the trick.

Hello EB1GA,

Thank you for your response and we appreciate for your patience.

We have found additional steps to fix the issue which is to force/manually start the Xbox related updates.

Go to Microsoft Store App > Download and Updates (top right corner) and manually start the updates with any app that calls out for Xbox or Gaming.

If still not works, then try a repair install of Windows without removing my files and programs.

Reinstall Windows - Microsoft Support

We hope it worked out well for you. If not, please reply back to this forum to let us know so we could find other options to resolve the problem.

We will be glad to follow up and help you.

Hi, thanks for the response!
I cancelled my gamepass a couple months ago, and only just got it again early this week. Since I got gamepass again I've not been able to download Halo MCC- I first tried that on Friday. I was previously able to download, install. and play MCC perfectly fine.

To be clear, other games are perfectly fine. I've installed several other titles- mostly smaller ones, but at least one was roughly the same size- with no issues.

I have:
restarted my PC
made sure windows is up to date
made sure xbox and gaming services is up to date
made sure I'm signed into the same account for windows and xbox
and removed and reinstalled gaming services.

Nothing has helped, I still have the same problem.
