    Hello

    This problem can occur if a program (most probably antivirus) interferes with the automatic update process.

    Perform the steps in the following article and check:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/883825

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    Important note: Antivirus software can help protect your computer against viruses and other security threats. In most cases, you should not disable your antivirus software. If you need to disable temporarily to install other software, you must reactivate as soon as you are finished. If you are connected to the Internet or a network, while your antivirus software is disabled, your computer is vulnerable to attacks.

  • Error 0x80073cf0: I can't update or install applications in Windows 8 store more

    I bought an ACER Iconia tab W510 January 17. Windows 8 store worked fine for the first few days, I installed a bunch of applications and updates. Suddenly, no app update or install works, but Windows update seems to work generally, there were a few updates Windows Defender installed successfully in the history of the update in the last days. There is no problem with my network connection or disk space, where there is still 11 GB free on the volume C:

    I already have the file system check sfc/scannow without any reported errors. I also ran the app from the modern UI Troubleshooter - have reported no problems. The integrity check tool component store DISM / / RestoreHealth/Cleanup-Image Online reported no problem in the CBS log file. I did reset the Cache Bank via the wsreset tool, Resync app licenses, remove the user and Windows temporary files and the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution, with stopping and restarting Windows Update Service. This has had no effect at all.

    After striking deep in the event logs, I found many entries of error in the "Microsoft-Windows-AppXDeploymentServer/operational" newspaper For each Installation trial application it is an event ID 404 with error message: Fehler 0x80073CF0: Fehler beim AppX deployment procedure. "" Der Fehlertext pesimos: Fehler 0 x 80070003: Fehler beim Öffnen im Speicherort package ' x-windowsupdate://D1A8CC24-633A-4906-B5A2-CD835C28F907/277aeeed4a3c78a9caa683927dc5375b81d7f7a4 ' associated with always an event ID 465 shortly before. Error code 0 x 80070003 can describe an error "path not found"? But when I look in subfolders of '% windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Downloads', I can find all the recently downloaded app packages there. On the other hand, the more recent app in the folder '% programfiles%\WindowsApps' package is dated January, 22 - all the most recent updates or installations app failed with the same even the event ID logs

    I compared with other systems event log and discovered that on the other the next event id system is 10002: "Die Resilienzdatei «C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\AppRepository\...rslc" wird fur den procedure is «Bereitstellen"im Paket «...»» ». Thus, the exception will be occure before this step and after the success of the download to the folder C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution.

    Anyone have more ideas how to solve this problem?

    Can I get log files entries more to clarify the reason of this bug?

    Thank you in advance,

    Gilbert

    I have fixed this issue by these commands in CMD (as administrator):

    net stop wuauserv
    Rename c:\windows\SoftwareDistribution softwaredistribution.old
    net start wuauserv
