when I looked deeper, it seemed that my problem was simply the wrong time zone in my pc, changed it and the problem went away
Yes. We have mentioned this in point 5 above. :)
AHA! Anand,
It was your tweet I saw about your article. I just didn’t go to it. O.o :)

Nope Anand,
Nothing works, the Store still has the original error on the Cache and will not open. In fact I have seen this before on Windows 10 and the only thing that fixed it in the past was an ISO Upgrade. They have radically changed the store on W 10, so most of my fixes from W 8/8.1 won’t work. By they way, the store was working fine yesterday before I started my weekly maintenance yesterday evening. O.o :(

Hmm, that’s too bad. If I come across something more, I will update he post.
Try this. Open/go to C:UsersAppDataLocalPackagesMicrosoft.WindowsStore_8wekyb3d8bbweLocalCache Replace with your user name. Delete the contents. Restart
Many are facing Store, Mail app issue so might see official response
Looks like we may soon get a fix via WU on this issue…
Thank You vasudevG,
I had forgotten about this work around and did not have it recorded. I am going to try it before the latest WU Updates to check it out.
I am aware of the coming “Store” WU in the next 24-48 hours according to Mary Jo Foley.
Best Regards,
Crysta
Nope that didn’t work neither, vasudevG, but Thank You for the memory jog, it is recorded now! :D

The Windows 10 Store app updated to version 2015.8.3.2 , it fixes download errors 0x803F7000 and 0x803F7003
yeahey!!! thanks man!!
the only way I can solve the problem is by doing a system restore to the point before the windows update of 10 August downloaded itself. The problem is, the download keeps coming back meaning multiple system restores. There must be a solution that works. I think I’ve tried everything recommended here.
How do I update to that version?
same here too..
I cant change the name… what to do
Changed the time zone and that worked for me
Trying everything possible and NOTHING working, – I resolved this myself:
Being ‘clever’ I had turned off as many services as possible.
So, do this:
ctrl+alt+del
task manager
services
click on blue ‘open services’ link on bottom of window
scroll to ‘windows store services’ / properties / enable / start
and the same for ‘windows update’
Get what you want, and disable them both again (if you choose)
Windows store services needs to be active to enable most windows 10 apps.
Fix The problem by simply using this method.
1. Open administrative or elevated Command Prompt.
2. Type following command and press Enter key:
netsh winhttp reset proxy
WOW!!…Checked the TLS 1.2 option and it is working..Thanks
Sir,
your method solved my problem thank you.
god bless you
the error code is 0x80072EE7. can you help me to fix this?
worked after changing time zone thanks
when i open my windows store is not opening showing that the service is stumbled so kindly help me to avoid this problem please sir
