I truthfully don’t use many apps, whether it’s with my Windows 8.1 desktop, Surface 2, or my Windows 8 Phone or Surface2. But I did want to download an app today to my desktop, and I immediately encountered error 0x8024402c.
The first recommendations I found when doing a Bing search was to open Internet Explorer and make sure that the ‘Use a proxy server for your LAN” was unchecked. Which it was in my case.
Then I found this suggestion to reset Store Cache, which worked immediately, and with no rebooting of my desktop computer:
- Press Windows Flag key + R to open the Run box
- Type: wsreset.exe and press OK
- Wait until it’s finished, then try downloading your app!
