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.
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.
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 😭
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

Hello I’m a 12 year Microsoft MVP and Certified independent advisor here to help.

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.

Who were you DenverCoder9?
What did you see?!
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
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.
