How To Fix Windows Store Error NET HELPMSG 2182 in Windows 10

Reader Question:
“Hi Wally, I am not able to install Windows apps from the Windows store on my laptop.  I’ve tried to run tests, have tried to fix the problem but I can’t find the solution. This is the error message that appears: NET HELPMSG 2182. Please help.” – Justin C., USA

Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:

  • Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
  • Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
  • Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.

Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.

Wally’s Answer: Not being able to install Windows apps can be very annoying. The Microsoft store was created for convenience and ease of use. So, these problems are rare and when they do occur, they’re easy to fix.
