I've tried wsreset.exe- no success
I've tried https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4027498/microsoft-store-fix-problems-with-apps - no success
I've tried to reset my region, language, and speech - no success
I've deleted the contents of the download directory and the datastore directory in c:\windows\softwaredistribution - no success
Ideas?

Before you go through all of the Ultra-Geeky hassle (and possibly dangerous) methods above, try checking your Internet Security settings as outlined below:
Possible Fix:
Search for "Internet Options"
Open the App
Select the "Advanced" Tab
Scroll to the Bottom of the List where you can see "Use SSL/TLS"
UN-Select SSL 3.0 and TLS 1.0 and 1.1
SELECT TLS 1.2 and (If Available) TLS 1.3
Click "Apply"
Click "OK"
Reboot Computer
YMMV
Good Luck!

Hi,
I am Sumit, an Independent Advisor and a 2-Year Windows Insider MVP here to help.
Please try the connection related troubleshooting steps here:

I don't use WiFi on my laptops. I have a 250 Mbps Internet connection and a Gigabit PC interface. I get consistent 200 Mbps to the Internet.
go to "wifi settings" - "choose apps that can use your wlan data" - turn on for microsoft store
I've had this problem off and on for years, I just bought a new laptop to replace one that died after 8 years. I hoped the problem would go away with the new laptop, but it looks like it is associated with my login. I again went through all of the steps that are proposed everywhere (occasionally worked in the past only to come again). Didn't work, so I gave up. I was doing some speed tests with my new laptop and , while on OOKLA, I noticed they offered a desktop version. It was through the Store so I figured I was out of luck, but I tried anyway. It worked. The link took me to the Store where it recognized me and I got the app. I decided to try to get some other apps and it worked for those too. Later I went back to the OOKLA speed test to see it it would take me back there. It did.
So, if you can't solve this problem and get really frustrated, find a site that has a link to the Store and it might work for you. I'll use OOKLA when I need something, but others will probably work.
BTW, I still get the 0x80131500 error if go go directly to the store.
