has finally addressed one of the longest-standing issues with its storefront on Windows 11 by providing a detailed workaround guide after six years.

Some Windows users had complained about a specific error code 0x80131500 in the

Store, which was first cited as early as 2019, and which now seems to have been fixed in March 2025. Sometimes known as the “Try that again” error, it even pre-dated Windows 11 by more than two years.

The company has

In particular,

has urged users trying the fourth method to make sure that TLS 1.2 and TLS 1.3 are being used. By opening the Internet Properties tab, go to Advanced, and then only have the latter two boxes ticked from the checklist, ignoring TLS 1.0 and TLS 1.1. This means the error could be due to incompatibilities with the Transport Layer Security internet protocol if the first three methods don’t resolve things.

Interestingly, the thread’s original poster tried several different methods to find a workaround, including creating a new local Windows account, pausing antivirus protection, resetting the

’s official guidelines, we’re hoping that the common (and frustrating) error can finally be fixed on Windows 11 and Windows 10.
