Error 0x80073d0d occurs for those who use the Microsoft Store on their Windows 10 to download games and apps. It can interfere with the installation of almost all applications, but often users refer to Forza 7 Ultimate Edition. Luckily, the problem has a perfectly understandable cause and a simple fix that works for just about everyone.
Cause of error 0x80073d0d
The problem is that you have multiple hard drives or SSDs. Connecting additional devices results in a registry violation regarding the installation path. Even despite attempts to change the installation path, sometimes it does not work and you have to force change everything through the registry editor.
How to fix error code 0x80073d0d?
The most effective solution is to go into the registry and manually work with the addresses. An easier fix is to change the path for installing applications through the “Settings” of the system. If they are corrected, installation and updating of any applications should be successful. Of course, all solutions assume that there is enough space on the selected drive.
Instruction:
- Press the combination Win + R, enter regedit into the line and press Enter.
- We go along the path HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionAppxPackageVolumes.
- We check the parameters that contain links to a non-existent memory volume (usually this is a mapped disk). When there are, they can be removed.
Another option is to change the installation folder via system options to a new drive. Several folders should be generated there, including WindowsApps and its contents. You can copy and paste it with a replacement on the old disk, and also change the path back.
Similar procedures can be performed using the command line. You will need 3 commands, enter them sequentially, after each pressing Enter:
Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers -Name Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml” -Verbose}
Get-AppXPackage | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register “$($_.InstallLocation)AppXManifest.xml”}
PowerShell -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Command “& {$manifest = (Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.WindowsStore).InstallLocation + ‘AppxManifest.xml’ ; Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register $manifest}”
