Microsoft Store error: "This install is prevented by policy." - 0x8024500C

[Csaba Cs.]

Hi All,


I have a problem in our domain with Microsoft Store. When we're trying to install anything, it gives the following error message:


This install is prevented by policy. Ask your admin to enable Windows Update. Code: 0x8024500C



Additional info:


In the domain we're using WSUS to install updates, but we have an OU in our AD, where WSUS is disabled with these group policy settings:
Computer Configuration > Policies > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Updates:

• Configure Automatic Updates: Enabled, 2 - Notify for download and notify for install
• Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet locations: Disabled
• Specify intranet Microsoft update service location: Disabled

With these settings, Windows Update works, I can download and install Windows updates manually, if the computer account is in this OU, but Microsoft Store still gives the above error message.


It happens on every Windows 10 computers, with all versions we have from 1809 to 20H2.

Are there any other group policy settings which are disabling Microsoft Store, even if Windows Update is enabled?



Thank you in advance,

Csaba
