Didn't help, errors when trying to update or uninstall apps #31

Had a good feeling about this one, but alas, didn't seem to work against my problem.

I can't update or uninstall any Windows App at all. Whenether i try to uninstall an app, i get an 0x80073CFA error, and when i try to update one, i get an 0x80073CF9 error. Installing new apps seems to be working though, although i'm not sure if it'd be possible to update them in the future.

I would imagine all my woes started with me removing some bloatware from my laptop, guess i wasn't careful enough about that. Sadly, i don't remember what and how i removed back then, it must have been a few years since i did that.

Hmm, never seen this one before. All I can find that doesn't involve useless bullshit like disk repair or system restore is this: https://woshub.com/remove-appxpackage-0x80073cfa-removal-failed/

Make sure to read the part about "TRG_AFTER_UPDATE_Package_SRJournal" in the comments section

Doesn't seem to be my case. Let's take for example Power BI for Desktop. I see a huge number of packages related to it (no idea why, there is only one entry in Programs), and all have IsInbox set to 0. Trying to uninstall any of the packages with Remove-AppxPackage gives me 0x80073CF1 error. Didn't exactly understood the part about TRG_AFTER_UPDATE_Package_SRJournal, but since DB Browser for SQLite works without errors, it doesn't really concern me, i guess?

On second look, seems that fix is for uninstalling MS apps that are not normally removable, so it doesn't apply to you I guess. It appears there are many different causes and solutions for those error codes.

Usually, Super User has somewhat decent quality answers, unlike dogshit Microsoft Community. Maybe have a look around.

Not sure what else to say. Good luck!
