The system will connect to Microsoft Servers online and download available updates from there. Wait for the updates to install on your PC and when this is over, check if you launch the Store app without encountering an error 0x80860010.

2] Troubleshoot Windows Store Apps

Running Windows Store apps is the most effective way to find and repair any issues with your Store app. Here’s how to perform this task on Windows 11 –

• Go to Settings (Win + I) > System, and click Troubleshoot on the right pane.
• When this expands, choose Other troubleshooters.
• Scroll down to the bottom and click on the Run button available beside Windows Store Apps.

• The troubleshooting window will launch immediately afterward.
• Click Next and follow the on-screen instructions. 

The troubleshooter will diagnose the underlying causes with your Store app and repair them automatically. After the troubleshooting completes, restart your PC and check if the error 0x80860010 resolves this way.

3] Run WSReset.exe

Store errors might also occur when there are accumulated caches inside your PC that require purging. WSRest.exe is an effective command-line tool that you may try to find and purge caches within your Microsoft Store. Here’s how to run this tool –

• Press Win + S, and type CMD in the text field.
• Right-click on Command Prompt, and choose Run as administrator.
• On the elevated console, type the following, and press Enter –

WSReset.exe

• This tool will purge all the caches associated with your Microsoft account including the Store app. 

Restart your PC and check if the error 0x80860010 resolves now. 

4] Reinstall Microsoft Store using PowerShell 

If neither of the above solutions works to address this error code 0x80860010, the problem may lie within the Store app itself. Uninstalling and then reinstalling the Store app might prove to be useful in such cases. The problem is that you can’t remove or uninstall Microsoft Store normally. 

So, we will launch PowerShell having admin rights, and then execute a command on it. Follow the below instructions to complete the uninstallation and then reinstallation of the Store app. 

• Press Win + X, and choose Windows Terminal (Admin).
• The terminal will default open into Windows PowerShell (Admin).
• Copy/paste the below code on it and press the Enter key –

Get-AppxPackage -allusers *WindowsStore* | Remove-AppxPackage


• When this command runs successfully, execute the below command next –

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

• Wait for the Store app to uninstall and then reinstall automatically on your Windows PC. 

Restart your PC and when it does reboot, check if the error 0x80860010 resolves on your computer. Now that you have repaired the Store app, open Microsoft Store, and check if you can update applications on it normally.

5] Create a new user profile

It is most likely that the Store error 0x80860010 has been resolved by now. However, there are cases, when this error occurs even after reinstalling Microsoft Store. This happens only when your user profile has been corrupted somehow. 

You may overcome this error then by creating a new user account and signing in using its credentials. Here’s how –

• Press Windows and I to launch the Settings app.
• Go to Accounts (left sidebar) and then “Other users” (right pane).
• Click Add account next to “Add other user“.
• Wait for a few seconds and you will get into the Microsoft account interface. 
• Click I don’t have this person’s sign-in information. 

• On the Create Account window, use a valid email-id and hit Next. 
• Provide a strong password on the subsequent window, and click Next again.

Microsoft will ask to provide the First name, last name, date of birth, and country of origin. Well, fill in all the details and hit the Next button.  You might even need to solve a puzzle or captcha that appears moving forward. Click Finish to complete creating your new user profile.

Now that you have generated a new user account on your computer, log out of the previous user account and sign into your new account. Launch Microsoft Store and check if the error 0x80860010 has been resolved by now. 

How do I Fix Update Error 0x80860010 in Windows?

If you are encountering the same error code while installing the pending updates on your Windows PC, you may try out these methods – 

• Disable third-party antivirus and initiate an SFC scan
• Reset Windows Update Components

Hopefully, the above two solutions fix this error code on your computer. If not, you may manually download the relevant standalone package from Microsoft Update Catalog, and install that on your computer. 

Manually download and install the failing application?

If this error 0x80860010 is appearing when you are trying to install a new application via Microsoft Store, you may even try downloading its setup file by visiting the official site. For example, applications like Whatsapp, KMPlayer, VLC, and others can easily be downloaded from their web addresses.  

Should I install a new application from third-party sites?

Normally, you shouldn’t. This is because any store app genuinely checks for an application’s legitimacy and issues with that. Only when an app passes all the required tests, the app appears on Microsoft Store. However, since you are facing trouble installing a particular app from the Store app, you may try performing this task manually as well.
