HP laptop 14-dk1013dx
Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Using Windows 10, version 20H2, HP laptop 64bit, HP Desk Jet 2132 printer.  Getting error code: 0x80073CFB each time I try to download the HP Smart app.  I need that app to scan items with the printer.  The HP Smart app download tells me that I "already own HP Smart" but I can't find it in my apps or within the computer and may have deleted it before realizing what it is used for. 

Thanks for any help,  Jim

I am also on windows 10 version 20H2.  Fully updated.  Download of HP Smart App fails with Code: 0x80073CFB  every time.

Is there no other site where I can download from?

I am having the same issue. None of my devices could connect to my deskjet 3752. I uninstalled HP smart to reinstall it, but now I can't install it. After clicking install, the error shows up immediately.

That link is both very confusing and not possible for me.  The instructions are completely different from the all black image next to the instructions so I am not able to figure out how to use such an instruction.

I tried an online fix and now I'm getting this code: Code: 0x800B0109!

I ended up resetting my router and my laptop, which fixed the problem. Messing around with online fixes just caused me problems with my computer, so I had to reset it. You can do this and keep your files as a last resort.

Re-resitering microsoft store fixed this for me.
Re-register Microsoft Store

I'm also having the same problem. Considering how new this thread is, it must be a recent issue with HP or the microsoft store messing something up. I also have an HP laptop and I can install other apps on the microsoft store just fine as well as updating, so If I had to guess HP probably dropped the ball on this one. This waiting for a fix.
