On Microsoft Store, the Samsung Update app won't download, error Code 0x80073D05

Have you clicked on the 3 dots to the right of your picture, Updates and downloads, My Library, set the scan to Scan by name, scroll down to the app.  There if you own it ti should say Install or Launch.

Hi PE. I'm Greg, an installation specialist, 10 year Windows MVP, and Volunteer Moderator here to help you.

I've not found many utility apps like this or printer apps that work that well yet. Much better to use the downloads from the PC or Printer maker's Support Downloads webpage to get the fullest functionality and immediate access to the latest drivers, for example.

The Samsung Downloads for PC's are here:
https://www.samsung.com/us/support/computing/wi...

The most basic thing we need to learn to maintain a PC is how to keep the latest manufacturer's drivers current. Windows Update drivers are never enough.

If you want to report an App use the link to Report App to Microsoft at the bottom of the App's page, which comes up when you search it or find it in the Store Settings > My Library. Often at the bottom of the page will also be a way to contact the app Publisher; if not then the app also isn't worthy because a good app's developers will always want feedback to keep it operating smoothly.

So I hope this gives you some other perspectives and options to deal with the issue. Keep me posted on your progress as I will be here to help until the case is resolved.

Samsung no longer maintains software / BIOS updates on its Support Download webpage. They haven't since 2018; in fact, for my particular Series 9 Notebook, the last update on the Samsung website (the link to which you provided above) is dated 2018.

Samsung EXCLUSIVELY updates software / BIOS through the Samsung Update app, which I have used multiple times since 2018; the lastest update I installed was in October 2019. There is literally no other mechanism available through which to obtain Samsung computer software / BIOS updates.

So. I will go ahead and report the app as you suggest above. But if there is ANY other way that I can access / download the Samsung Update app other than the Microsoft Store, that would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Is there any kind of software/driver updater to install from Samsung? I don't have your exact full model number to check for you, but for this Series 9 model Downloads, for example, there is a Software Updater that still might work:
https://www.samsung.com/us/business/support/own...

Likewise if you look through the preinstalled Samsung software do you find any type of Updater to use so you don't need to rely on a Windows app?

Thanks for your reply. However, I already tried looking through the software for an updater and there is none. Mine is a Series 9 Notebook NP940X5N ( NP940X5N-X01US ). And on my model's page there are none of the numerous updates that appear on the page for the Ultrabook you shared ... there's just the one from 2018, check it out: https://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/np940x5n

This is why I was using the Samsung Update app.

Samsung Tech customer service provided a usable alternative: a standalone Samsung Update app -- from the Samsung download center itself, not the Microsoft Store -- that you can install from a zip file. And it works, too -- I just installed it on my notebook and ran it, successfully updating Samsung systemware.

Here is the URL for the zip in case anyone needs it: http://downloadcenter.samsung.
