We are only able to download games that do not require Administrator approval. Even if our account is an administrator or running the program as administrator. The same error occurs when we attempt to download from the Microsoft Store.

First look that you do not have a content filter in the router, that can block operations like that, if everything is ok, try to have a context update or format disk as a last resort
