These 7 Microsoft apps are stuck in my store update list for ever, all of them had exact the same error code in the end 0x80073CF6. The rest of apps have no problem at all.


What is even worse is that I have no way to uninstall them. And all of them crash on launch. I even tried to uninstalled some of them (e.g. solitaire) by using PowerShell, I got


PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxPackage *solitairecollection* | Remove-AppxPackage
Remove-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CF6, Package could not be registered. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CF6)
NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] b55e1ee7-c8e3-0000-606b-64b5e3c8d101 in the Event Log or use the command line Get-AppxLog -ActivityID b55e1ee7-c8e3-0000-606b-64b5e3c8d101
At line:1 char:41

+ CategoryInfo : WriteError: (Microsoft.Micro...__8wekyb3d8bbwe:String) [Remove-AppxPackage], IOException
+ FullyQualifiedErrorId : DeploymentError,Microsoft.Windows.Appx.PackageManager.Commands.RemoveAppxPackageCommand



I also followed the instruction from PowerShell output to run another command



PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> Get-AppxLog -ActivityID b55e1ee7-c8e3-0000-606b-64b5e3c8d101
