Users can access the Microsoft Store and install their favorite apps. However, there may be some scenarios when you are unable to install or update Windows Apps. Different error codes may cause different issues, which require a different procedure to fix.
We have already a post where some general troubleshooting steps have been outlined which could help you if you are Unable to Install Apps from Microsoft Store. We have also seen how to fix Error 0x80073cf9. Sure you can always try a reset the app’s cache to resolve such downloading and installing issues; but today we will see specifically, how to fix Error code 0x8024600e which you may receive when trying to install or update Windows Store Apps.
Something happened and this app couldn’t be installed, Error Code 0x8024600e
This is the error message you may receive! Error 0x8024600e, however, states the same error description as 0x80073cf9 but requires different treatment. In this article, I’ll tell you the way to fix it.
To fix this error I tried some of the casual fixes like deleting my Microsoft account, creating a new one, renaming the Software Distribution directory, creating AUInstall and AUInstallAgent directories, trying System File Checker, and refreshed Windows installation – which by the way uninstalled all my programs – but nothing worked.
Before you begin, run Windows Update Troubleshooter and the Windows Store apps Troubleshooter and see if that works for you. If it does not, then you may need to open the Registry Editor, and check the registry key missing which handles the Temporary Internet Files directory. If missing, you need to restore the missing key as explained below.
Fix Microsoft Store Error Code 0x8024600e
1. Press Windows Key + R combination, type put Regedt32.exe in Run dialog box, and hit Enter to open the Registry Editor.
2. Navigate to this registry key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders
3. In the right pane of this location, look for the string named Cache. Double click on it in order to modify it, you’ll got this:
4. In the above box, put the Value data as:
%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\Temporary Internet Files
This is actually the default Value data. If you’re facing error 0x8024600e, either you’ll find the Cache key missing or it might have different data than default one.
After inputting the default Value data, click OK. Reboot and your problem should be fixed hopefully.
Good luck!
