Ahoy thar Fo'Rum.
For users receiving the error code 0x803F8001 when trying to download the Sea of Thieves Closed Beta via the Windows 10 Store try the steps listed below.
*Please note that this is a workaround to the issue and not a guaranteed fix for the issue.
- Open the Windows 10 Store, then in the top right corner click on the profile picture.
- If you have multiple accounts signed in, sign out all but the email account linked to the game's purchase/pre-order.
- Next, locate a free Windows 10 Store download and install it. (You can uninstall it directly after)
- Then try playing (downloading) Sea of Thieves again through the Windows 10 Store "Library" page.
The above should hopefully refresh the store and bypass the error code being received by some users.
If these suggestions don't help, I would recommend you get in contact with support.
Thank you for your patience.
