Some users have stated on forums that a Paint 3D is currently not available error message appears when they try to run that app. The full error message states: Paint 3D is currently not available in your account. Here’s the error code in case you need it 0x803F8001. These are a few potential fixes for that error message.
What do I do if Paint 3D is not opening?
1. Open the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter
The Windows Store Apps troubleshooter can fix numerous error messages for apps that aren’t working. Thus, that troubleshooter might provide a fix for Paint 3D’s 0x803F8001 error. Troubleshooters don’t always fix things, but they’re worth noting when an error message pops up.
2. Reset the Paint 3D app
Resetting apps resets their data. So the Reset button can often fix apps that aren’t working. That option is always worth a shot when an app doesn’t start.
3. Reinstall Paint 3D
Some Paint 3D users have confirmed that reinstalling the app fixed the 0x803F8001 error for them. Note that reinstalling the app will also erase your Paint 3D Projects folder. So back up the Projects folder if there’s anything there you really need to keep. This is how you can back up the Projects folder and then reinstall Paint 3D.
4. Clear the Microsoft Store cache
Paint 3D’s 0x803F8001 error message might also be due to a corrupted Microsoft Store cache. So resetting that cache can also fix the error. To reset the Microsoft Store cache, enter WSReset.exe in Run and click OK. Those fixes will definitely kick-start the Paint 3D app. If you have any other suggestions or comments, let them out in the open in our comments section below because they might also help other users.
