Apps not installing - N950F

[ABigMoustache]

I updated to Android Pie via OTA a few weeks ago and since then my phone in not able to install apps in any way, tried Play Store, Galaxy Store and ADB and nothing works, they always get stuck at the installation part.

What's interesting though is that if I go into secure folder and try to install from there, it actually works so I have no idea what is happening.

I cannot factory reset as I'm on a trip and I need the settings on my phone to be working fine.

Any ideas?

Try wiping the Cache Partition in Recovery Mode. That should fix your OS issue.

Already did, does not work at all..

I was thinking about installing the indian update for the March security patch maybe that would help. I'm in a COO CSC is there a problem with that?

In that case back up all the data stored on your device and perform a hard factory reset.

As I said I cannot do that.. Isn't there a way to troubleshoot this without factory resetting?

1; Try clearing play store cache in
Phone Setting/app/ (3dots show system apps)/Google play store.

2: or clear data and cache on play store.

3: or remove your Google account and clear data and cache on play store and re-log into your Google account.

4: or Do a factory reset!
