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'.

    Thanks.

    This problem considered fully resolved as the fix survives multiple reboots and poweroff on.

    I have a new problem here related to this installation and am lacking of thoughts what to do with it:

    I am glad to help. Let me know if I can help further. I'll stay subscribed to this thread in case you need anything else, until the system locks it in a few months.
