Error Code 0x80070057? Cant get my apps?

[huntxtrm]

My surface rt keeps kicking my the error code "0x80070057" everytime I try to install an app? or reinstall an app? What is going on? I cant seem to figure out why. Searched the web, only found a bunch of really old posts about it. Not really relavent to an rt? Any fixes or suggestions would be appreciated. Right now my rt is basically a paper weight! Cant use it. Thanks in advance.

Give this a try... it says it applies to RT but I'm not sure if the troubleshooter works on RT or not.
Troubleshoot problems with an app - Windows Help

Definitely try syncing licenses...

Also make sure the system time is accurate and all updates are applied.

No good. Still not working. There are a few apps that will work, but the majority throw the error code.

Trouble shooter says "Windows Store configuration may be damaged" But does not tell how to fix it.

 

[GreyFox7]

Try this
Store Cache - Clear in Windows 8

 

[huntxtrm]

No dice either. doesn't say it cleared the cache? but I did exactly like it said.

Hmm, well maybe a Refresh is in order.

Refresh? How do you do that? I already restored it to out of the box once, did not good.

Well if Reset didn't fix it then I wouldn't expect Refresh to help either.

Everything else on it seems to work fine. Just will not download apps, or reinstall apps?

I'm' guessing it might be a problem with your account ... did you chat with MS support?

Try adding another account, make it an admin... see it that does anything. It has to be a Microsoft account to use the Store.

I honestly didn't know you could chat with MS support? I will give that a try. thanks
