I am having trouble installing apps from the store. I can download them fine, but when it attempts to install the app I get an error code 0x80070005. I searched Google about this problem & found this site.

I've tried all the steps there, but none of them work. So I tried another site & found this one. But when I try to give myself full access to the folder, I am getting an "access denied" error.

How can I fix this? And if this step doesn't work, what other options do I have short of reinstalling Windows 10?
 
check windows update and see if any updates

try doing it after a clean boot: https://support.microsoft.com/en-au/kb/929135

Have you moved your app folder off C drive?

I had this issue, what fixed it for me was to disable compression on my secondary drive. Everything worked after that, installing from store to drive and moving existing app from c:. Might not need to do the entire drive, maybe just the WindowsApps folder on the second drive.
