Disable Windows Store in Windows 10

Posted on by

Computer Config\Policies\Admin Templates\Windows Components\Windows Update\Do not connect to any Windows Update Internet Locations

We set this to enable but, as it says, it has the knock on effect that no one can download apps from the Windows Store when enabled. But we enabled this because via the Windows Store you can bypass WSUS and install Windows updates. Which someone did back when an old build of Windows 10 was released that was bricking machines. Lucky the 3 users that had managed to install it, via the Windows Store, were OK but had to rebuild their machines after.

Outlook 2010 refusing to send e-mails in Windows 10 despite test connection working

Very odd one. Appears to be from the upgrade to Windows 10 people are reporting. I’m sure I installed Office 2010 after Windows 10 was installed so shouldn’t of caused an issue.

But anyway. E-mails will just sit in the Out box and never send with errors such as:

Sending reported error (0x800CC13) Cannot connect to the network. Verify your network connection or modem.

Being throw back.

Simple fix in the end it appears. Run CMD as Admin and type sfc /scannow

Once scan is finished it appears to fix the issue.

Press windows key an x to get an admin user command prompt

then

type

sfc /scannow
