And of course that error code just means “there was an issue with the store” WOW THANKS SO MUCH DETAIL TO GO OFF OF
Technically the numerical code still gives you a precise search key to find other people discussing the same issue.
… You know, as would be useful for a serious operating system where online support doesn’t mean trawling the bowels of Reddit praying somebody’s had the same issue and found a reproducible solution.
Hello I’m a 12 year Microsoft MVP and Certified independent advisor here to help.
Please type “CMD” into the start menu then type “ckdsk /f /r”
If this solved your issue please click on “Accept as solution”!
Unrealistic. Every repair on Windows starts with
DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-image /Restorehealthfollowed bysfc /scannow…wait. no… That’s the correct way. The MS MVP in the forum always mix it up and tell you to run them in reverse…
Fyi do not run that if you used MAS :-)
Why would you use anything else.
Because Linux exists :p
The one time I used that official forum I did my due diligence and laid out what I ended up doing to solve my problem as well as responding to the other person with a similar one. I am not DenverCoder9.
“Question: I am getting error with code 0xblahblahblah. How to fix?”
“Deleted response”
Reply 1: “Youre a life saver mate, thank you.”
Reply 2: “I would kiss you if you were here”
Reply 3: “Absolute legend, this fix is so obvious, thank you for pointing it out!”
“Solved it, I will DM you the solution.”
This is the only part I despise of forum culture like MDL or the likes.
If you have a solution, or even better: if you have written software or a guide for this, please just publish it online.
What I hate is when I find a solution for some old post but it’s locked because “you should just make a new question” well FUCK YOU BECAUSE SEARCH ENGINES GO THERE AND I HAVE THE ANSWER AND I WANT TO HELP PEOPLE! BUT FUCK ME I GUESS 😭
It feels like a bunch of moderation decisions are made by people just trying to satisfy some arbitrary OCD-like requirements. Like “you can’t reply to an old conversation” or “you can’t talk about a problem someone has already talked about”. That stuff is worse than the people who reply useless shit like RTFM (aka “I go to helo forums not to provide help but to gloat about the things I know that you don’t and act like every single comment is addressed to me personally and needs my input”) because at least those useless comments don’t kill the rest of the conversation.
Closed. Duplicate of 20990449
Except the code covers SUCH a vague issue that it’s useless. Not very precise when any issue with the store gives you the same code. Maybe it couldn’t find a DNS record for the online store. Maybe its local db is corrupt. Maybe it’s been locked out administratively. Doesn’t matter which root cause, same error code, so it’s not a “precise” error code.
These may not be the case in this instance, but in many, many other instances, it sure has been
The problem is that “the same issue” here means “there’s any error at all with the MS Store”. Any discussion about there will be useless.
I have copied down and manually typed out numbers like that many times when using windows. I’m not sure it ever once helped me in the slightest.
It’s infuriating that you can’t just copy the text in those sometimes
Tends to be as helpful as those windows saying “We are looking for a solution to your problem online”
Haha yes those dialogs never helped me either.
I think the windows connection help wizard might have actually fixed a connection issue I had once. Out of more chances than I probably should have given it, considering how often it did dick all, despite my phone’s connection being fine.
I think there’s a rare race condition or something in the windows network stack because I’ve had four different machines suddenly lose the ability to connect to working networks, where sometimes toggling airplane mode would fix it, sometimes even that wouldn’t do anything and it needed a restart. It happened more often with wireless connections, but I’ve seen it affect wired ones, too.
Windows net stack sucks so hard.
Steps to reproduce
Open Terminal
Expected Behavior
It would be pretty nice, if the terminal would open
For what it’s worth, only one of my two systems is experiencing this issue.
The one with the issue is running windows 11, and the working system is running Linux.
Priceless.

LMAO the next action taken after that comment:
microsoft locked and limited conversation to collaborators
Oh my god that is hillarious
Its a work device so I’m signed in like a good little corporate peon, still they manage to fuck it up.
Then your IT has blocked use of the terminal and store for your account.
Which makes sense for regular users to reduce the chance of fuck-ups and rise of a shadow IT.
This isn’t a Microsoft issue (except for the slightly unspecific error message).God where do you people even come from? Coming out of the woodwork to free-associate about some incompetence of an imagined IT department when Microsoft fucks up this OS every other day and when Teams and Sheets Web (or whatever the M$ version of Google Sheets is called) and Windows 11 is the way it is.
That’s an assumption
I’m a Windows sysadmin, this is the exact explanation. The only other thing, and this is going way out on a limb, is that terminal was installed through the Windows Store and something related is busted. I’ve never even heard of a company utilizing the Store for installations.
Others have already provided links to the GitHub issue detailing this bug and a Microsift employee confirming this indeed seems to be a micrsoft error although another team than the terminal one as it also affects multiple other programs such as the screengrab tool and notepad.
One of those comments can be found here: https://lemmy.dbzer0.com/comment/23913723
Not really. Today at work that error appeared to me. As a software developer of course I have access to terminal, I use it every day.
I just closed the message and opened the terminal again, and it worked.
This is Microsoft’s fault, not any other’s.
In a previous company, they roled out their update every few months. Every time, it closed all the ports we need to actually work. Make ticket, wait until IT got around to it, tell people no connection means no work. Those were the days to update documentation.
Its possible the IT admin misconfigured, but blocking the terminal or the store would not make sense at this company since most employees need them on a daily basis.
Update: most definitely a microsoft issue https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/19764
Never! Couldn’t possibly be M$’s fault! It’s definitely somehow your IT department!
I mean, it is.
They should have used Linux.
/s
That’s definitely an issue with your IT department. My work Windows laptop came with the terminal accessible.
I mean I was able to open the terminal just fine a few hours ago
Maybe they’ve updated their security policies? Could be to prevent users from installing unapproved software via winget, etc.
I have definitely never done that myself, if anyone asks …
God where do you people even come from? Coming out of the woodwork to free-associate about some incompetence of an imagined IT department when Microsoft fucks up this OS every other day and when Teams and Sheets Web and Windows 11 is the way it is.
It’s a MS issue, not isolated
Don’t sign into Windows with an online account. You can still do offline only accounts and it fixes this problem. The Microsoft Store still works too but IDK why you’d use that.
“Get help with this”
The real joke.
I had a similar error with a different application. Clicking “Get help with this” just opened the Documents folder in Explorer.
99% of people just use their OS as a browser frontend. They don’t care about freedom, privacy, security, etc. They will just use whatever OS comes pre-installed. Thats why Linux’s greatest success on the desktop/laptop market as been ChromeOS. Not because it’s any better than Pop_OS!, Debian, etc. It’s literally just that ChromeOS comes preinstalled.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. Still, I’ve had so many “last straw” moments with Windows that would make me consider Linux even if I was not familiar with it at all. It baffles me that there are relatively few people who give it a shot.
I suppose a lot of people just don’t want to or don’t have time to learn something new.
I’ve hit my last straw moment today trying to remove the setting forcing my password to change on a laptop that I fucking own. Windows 11 has disabled pretty much all user management features of local accounts now unless you’re signed into Microsoft and link your accounts.
Fucking bullshit.
I just need a spare weekend or two to make the swap now and throw wine on it for the games I play that refuse to run on Linux.

if your primary storefront is via steam, you likely won’t even need to manage wine, steam will do that for you as part of the install process. You can use something like protonup or something to get GE editions of proton but, honestly it mostly works right off the gate.
Just be aware that proton can have conflicts if you try to use it on NTFS drives, you’ll need to manually specify UID and GID for the drive (via fstab or however you manage mounting drives) or you’ll get permission errors that won’t actually say what they are unless you ran steam via the terminal.
Unfortunately the games I’d need wine for don’t run through steam and have their own launchers ☹️
But good to know for my steam library at least.
There’s a high probability that it will work if you simply run the launcher through steam. Honestly it’s impressive what you can throw at it and it just works ™.
Only thing to look out for is the installation path when you run installers that way, with all the virtual filesystems and stuff. Haven’t encountered a single game that didn’t run since the switch, be it pirated, gog or steam
Alternatively,
Installed POP OS. Connect the Nintendo switch to my laptop using MTP. Double click the file folder. Crashes.
Decide to just reset to see if it would fix it. The laptop loops at the authentication screen infinitely. Used a PC to transfer files instead.
Reformat and install Fedora Workstation since Lenovo ships with it. Installed Anydesk and Rustdesk and Wayland is extremely laggy and the hot keys do not transfer to the remote computer.
I think my next step is to install an xorg OS.
I love how every comment tells you to use a different distro lol. Don’t you guys see problem? You cant ask people to change their distro for every issue they stumble upon.
I see exactly one(1) comment that suggests trying a different distro.
One comment is suggesting using a game streaming application (Moonlight).
One comment is suggesting using the RDP server that comes with Fedora (which jaschen306 stated they are using).
One comment is yours.
One comment is saying it’s probably a hardware issue.
And finally, one comment is suggesting a gaming-focused Linux distro - but specifically calling out that it’s if they’re looking for a gaming distro.
Admittedly I have Hexbear and Lemmygrad blocked, so I might be missing other comments.
My bad, my PTSD kicked in as I read some names that I assumed were other distros. Its way too common when troubleshooting Linux to see people sugesting a whole other distro as a definitive solution, only to have other problems different to the one you’re trying to fix.
Always remember: Your OS should do nothing more than provide a GUI for you to access apps and run apps. Anything else is not necessary.
Your OS provides a GUI? fancy
Because people actually have a life.
The lines you draw are so arbitrary but at least you’re prepared to die on those hills.
Prey tell, what is this OS of yours that is not coercive and doesn’t contain bloat, yet has a full GUI as part of the operating system?
Okay be real, you want to do all your networking config and drive pools and high availability all through the CLI?? There’s still a reason I use the CLI in the GUI but thats just nuts
Girls, calm down, you’re both pretty. I was being sarcastic. Let’s not argue over a joke.
Honestly though if you pulled out a picture with 14 monitors all with terminals, I would be impressed
3 screens with 3 virtual desktops is my limit man.
