Version: 22H2 Build 22621.1105 It was upgraded from Windows 10.

MS Store version: 22212.1401.5.0

Windows Paint and Caculator and notepad has shortcuts in the start menu, however in the Apps->installed app, search them yield no results.

Tring to install Windows Paint in the store, after it finished downloading, it will always fail saying Code: 0x8007045B

Checked Windows Caculator and it is saying update, still stuck on doing update since I last time tried to install it.

The error code here is Code: 0x80073D02

Tried to install a package through winget and it reported error 0x8007045B

Trouble shooting:

Time and date is synced.

Tried to sign out of MS Store and reboot.

Tried to run wsreset.exe, it opens MS Store and I have already signed in again. Here I dont think it is working as supposed, if I have signed out, and do wsreset, should I still have the status of signed out?

Tried to run

Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml”}

in PS as admin, error:

...

Add-AppxPackage : A positional parameter cannot be found that accepts argument '\AppXManifest.xml'.

    Reference https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/any-microsoft-store-app-fails-to-install/e0fd883f-a753-4e57-b39a-344c5173aa5e

    Get-AppxPackage *windowsstore* | Remove-AppxPackage

    I was able to remove MS Store.

    Following that tried

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\Microsoft.WindowsStore_22210.1401.16.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe\appxmanifest.xml"}

    Reports app not found.

    Firewall is off=> https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/windows-defender-firewall-is-using-settings-that/914decb4-fbd9-451a-adfb-86e80adc1715

    While looking at the computer logs, system, it is full or errors about firewall.

    The Windows Defender Firewall service terminated with the following service-specific error:

    The parameter is incorrect.

    • <Event xmlns="**http://schemas.microsoft.com/win/2004/08/events/event**">
    • <System> <Provider Name="Service Control Manager" Guid="{555908d1-a6d7-4695-8e1e-26931d2012f4}" EventSourceName="Service Control Manager" /><EventID Qualifiers="49152">7024</EventID><Version>0</Version><Level>2</Level><Task>0</Task><Opcode>0</Opcode><Keywords>0x8080000000000000</Keywords><TimeCreated SystemTime="2023-02-03T03:51:08.9332757Z" /><EventRecordID>9590912</EventRecordID><Correlation /><Execution ProcessID="1432" ThreadID="18260" /><Channel>System</Channel><Computer>Desk-C</Computer><Security /></System>
    • <EventData> <Data Name="param1">Windows Defender Firewall</Data><Data Name="param2">%%87</Data><Binary>6D00700073007300760063000000</Binary></EventData> </Event>

    So the param2 is incorrect and the firewall service is restarting like every 15~20 seconds.

    So how to fix the firewall then ?

    Tried to repair MS Store with

    Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    Result:

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.

    error 0x800706D9: While processing the request, the system failed to register the windows.firewall extension due to the following

    error: There are no more endpoints available from the endpoint mapper.

    .

    NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] a93aa371-377a-0005-39f7-79a97a37d901 in the Event Log or use the command

    line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID a93aa371-377a-0005-39f7-79a97a37d901

    At line:1 char:28

    • ... | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.I ...

    Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered.

    error 0x800706D9: While processing the request, the system failed to register the windows.firewall extension due to the following

    So it says something about firewall .

    Check my firewall it says

    Microsoft Defender Firewall is using settings that may make your device unsafe.

    Click Restore settings, agree to UAC, but it does not do anyting, does not fix the firewall issue.
