Hi @VICKI101

Welcome to the HP Support Community. 

The error code 0x8000ffff means your Windows 10 is having update issues. This error usually appears after Windows updates and locks the Windows Store. Besides, it can crop up after your performing the system restore or when you try to install a newly downloaded app.

Let's run a Windows Update Troubleshooter.

--->In Windows, search for and open Programs and Features.

--->Select your HP printer.

--->Select Uninstall.

Hi,

The second option worked for me. Thank you so much! I think I have spent over 2 hours trying to resolve the issue using various fixes on the internet. This was the only one that worked!
