[BUG]: Running the script broke Windows Store login; unable to install any Store apps due to error 0x800704cf #100
Comments
Hi, thank you for the bug report and your positive feedback and sorry for the inconvenience. I was going to recommend solution in #99 but as you reverted breaking ones it may be something else. Do you want to share your script file? This way we can correlate similar issues and would have smaller scope for what may have caused the issue. Automatic restore points were brought up in #50. And this issue is a another case to show its necessity. |
Hi, thanks for the quick response! Sure, here is the script file: privacy-script.txt . However, thanks to the issues you linked, namely #99 , and related to it, #64, I was able to fix the issue! Let me summarize the problems I had and how each setting affected them in my case. Problems:

I hope this helps! |
Just to let you guys know I have had this problem with Store not connecting without running this script. The problem happened after some connection issues on my router (probably DNS issues). After a reboot of the router and a reboot of the computer the problem was not there anymore. |
Thank you guys sharing information. @smukherjee2016 that's very constructive and great report 👍 I tested disabling |
I had the same problem, the script used was the standard in the main page. |
Thanks, this fixed the problem for me |
Thanks @Evineit , nice to find out the cause of it. I tested on Windows 10 21H2 and get: PUR-AuthenticationFailure
v3ZtcNH7IECS00iL.36.1 And on Windows 10 21H1: On both versions reverting Windows Live ID Service solved the issue. I'll document the breaking behavior and unrecommend it with a patch. |
Rename service to its newer name. Mention breaking behavior in its name and add more documentation. Unrecommended from "Standard" pool because it breaks a lot of functionality, but still recomended in "Stricts" because it's used to identify personal information that leads to less privacy.
Closing this because the behavior is now documented and script causing it is unrecommended. |
Hi, I currently receive this error code too after running the "Standard" script pack. I only switched off some scripts which I knew I would want to keep. So I think there is still a script that breaks Windows Store. Here is a list of the scripts I ran: My version of Windows is I wanted to revert the above mentioned script, but it seems it got removed. |
Hi @feinersaft , it has been renamed to It's great that you shared the script you have. Could you create a new github issue for what you experienced? This way it would get more attention and we can have separate focus on solving this/track progress. It would be nice if you could share also how you know that the store is gone, what error you're getting, screenshot etc. Issue template when creating a new issue would guide you. |
I have come to realize that this only happens when my VPN Private Internet Access is connected (though in split mode). Not sure if this applies to everyone here. |
Description
I ran the following attached script (renamed to .txt so that Github accepts the upload) after generating it from the program (Awesome program btw, thanks! My PC runs much quieter for some reason now!).
However, after running it and rebooting, my ToDo account showed me as offline, and thinking something was wrong with the app, I uninstalled it. But then I was unable to reinstall it or any other apps due to this error.
OS
Windows 10 Education 20H2
Reproduction steps
Run the script attached on a PC with a local Microsoft account.
Reboot and open Microsoft Store, and try to install an app.
Scripts
Screenshots
When I click "Get" on a Microsoft store app, it first asks me to sign in, and when I select the account, it shows the following message:
Additional information
Weirdly enough, after reverting some changes (specifically searching for ones with "break" and reverting them), it seems updating installed apps works, but apps themselves don't seem to connect successfully.
Also, unfortunately I realized the problem too late so I don't have an automatic restore point before I ran the script, and I didn't generate a manual one when I ran it...
Any help would be appreciated!
