I just tried to update Lenovo Vantage software on my laptop in the Windows store and I got error: Code: 0x80073D05

This is how I was able to fix it:

go to C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Packages\

and look for a folder like xxxxxxx.LenovoCompanion_xxxxxxxxxxxx

I renamed the folder to xxxxxxx.LenovoCompanion_xxxxxxxxxxxx.OLD – I can delete it later

go back to Windows Store and see if you can install or update Lenovo Vantage
