Moments like this are why people get frustrated—tools should get out of the way, not add extra hoops. Everyone’s setup works… until it suddenly doesn’t.
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.
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.
That combination of errors sounds suspiciously like hardware problems.
MTP crash, unexpected but not overly so, it’s old code. Authentication issues post reboot on error is super sus.
Wayland can be a little slow, but it seems to be ok for all of my ancient candidates. Keymaps kind of expected, that’s the kind of stuff that wayland is actually not great at yet.
Put that all together, I’d say you have something going on with the box.
If you are looking for a gaming distro then try out Nobara Linux
For gaming u gotta use sunshine moonlight or whatever they called. But that requires more fucking around with than I care
Fedora has built in rdp server. That’s what I use. Laggy? Ya dude that’s for office work, don’t push more than 1080p, yes it’s still gonna be inperfect
Cancel Microsoft 🤷♀️
I’m guessing this is a misleading post? Probably a random app in the store that’s called “terminal” that is broken and the actual windows command prompt is working fine.
I maintain over a hundred windows 11 machines. I recently push new software that I had to manually configure on each machine. While doing this I checked for problems. Over half had terminal and other programs like notepad installed separately. All the machines are in a domain environment but windows 11 ignores many of the GPO’s I have in place. Its pathetic and just a reason to have to do more work. So I have no problem believing that terminal had been installed and then disabled due to some microsoft account nonsense.
Can confirm this is an actual issue from Microsoft impacting lots of normal system apps that update via the Microsoft Store and/or Windows Update.
I’ve seen it mess up Notepad, Snipping Tool to name a few.
It’s pretty egregious that a bug like this can mess up utilities already installed on your computer.
Windows is really feeling like a single-player video game that requires an always on connection.

What’s the actual fuck Microsoft
They’re preparing to rent people desktop access over the internet. Gotta trim up that you don’t own shit store code.
Command prompt is slowly becoming legacy. Microsoft wants powershell to be its successor thus Terminal was born.
Hating windows is the ultimate karma farm here on Lemmy. If you can somehow hate windows and Trump in one post, expect to see that shit at the top.
Lemmy doesn’t have karma
He should have said “dopamine farm for, number go up”
What you already paid money for your OS? Fuck that. Help us sell your data for basic functionality too.
Linux master race!
“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.
Did it help?
It sucks. But I’m pretty sure there’s some kind of bug going on in win 11 right now. I was even getting that earlier today when trying to open snipping tool after it was already open. I think they just borked some store check code somewhere.
Microsoft: “Let’s fire our QA teams. We’ll force our dev team to use AI in coding. Then we’ll have the public test it.”
Also Microsoft:I think they just borked some store check code somewhere.
The fact that this is even possible just demonstrates how broken Windows is fundamentally.
It’s probably all the vibe coding they do internally nowadays
At this point it seems like the bug is Windows 11 itself.
Snipping tool has been fscked for some time now. Crashes all the time, freezes. My Linux box is so much more reliable
i was about to suggest using
wingetto reinstall it but then i realized that would require a functional terminal to accomplish, something i had taken for grantedSurely the underlying cmd cli is still there even if the Terminal app wrapper is broken
I was gonna suggest “just launch
cmddirectly”, but then remembered that this usualy just launches Terminal if it’s installed.It is, as is the native powershell terminal, thankfully.
The Microsoft Store is impressively bad. So many random errors that don’t give any helpful information that are impossible to fix.
I have no idea who thought it would be a good idea to give an error code to a user in Hexadecimal form, with no other information.
An error occurred: 0x 80070003
is hardly helpful at all.
Installed Vivaldi and Brave from the MS Store on work laptop from the official pages. Got a Trojan in each that IT had to remove. Yeah no
Couldn’t install iTunes because my clock was wrong. That certainly wasn’t the ERROR I was presented with, but was ultimately the root cause.
That, coincidentally, was the very same evening that I decided to and did uninstall windows on that machine.
It’s probably because TLS uses your system clock to validate certificates. If your clock doesn’t match the server you’re connecting to, TLS fails and you get an “https failed/connection is insecure” error. And Windows likely uses https in the store to ensure MITM attacks can’t replace valid downloads with malicious ones.
I understand the mechanism, and why it is important.
I don’t understand why the error message from the store was nothing more than an error code, and why the MSKB for that code had absolutely no mention of a failed ssl negotiation as a possible cause.
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”!
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.
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 :-)
what will happen?
I think it removes some needed files and screws up your activation or something like that
“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 😭
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.
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.
It’s infuriating that you can’t just copy the text in those sometimes
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.
And if you look up tech support on this, it’s all unrelated nonsense tips. Even in the official sources it doesn’t go much beyond turn it off/on, reset the settings, reinstall the app or reinstall the OS. While this might “solve” stuff, it doesn’t fix the core issue and the issue might re-occur without a fix. Why go through all the trouble of wiping and reinstalling, if there is often a very focused and simple fix that truly solves the issue. But Microsoft has started making it harder for users to have ownership over their systems for years now. Keep your users dumb, then you can control them.
You see, the problem is, that you try to open the Terminal on Windows Home or Pro. Personal use doesn’t include advanced features like Terminal access. Please upgrade to a Windows Enterprise License to continue to be able to use the Terminal.
Alternatively you may try using Copilot to run commands and change system settings in a text based environment.

At this point I’m not even sure this truly is sarcasm
Finally, a use for my backups based on FreeFileSync
wipes entire drive
installs linux mint
Now where the fuck did I put that nice start menu icon creation GUI app…
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).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.
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.

Beautiful bug report
Expected Behaviour:
It would be pretty nice, if the terminal would open
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 …
It’s a MS issue, not isolated
Yea and Usain Bolt can run real fast and you can’t
You got problems buddy
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.
What do you get when your search “terminal”? My home rig defaults to PowerShell, but I likely changed something years ago.
The terminal
OP’s company has good opsec.
The funny thing is I’m perfectly happy with Windows 10 LTSC and if it was available without a corporate license, I would have happily paid for it. MS execs are their own worst enemy.
