When I try to access the Microsoft Store I get Error Code: 0x80131500     CV: 0H5MOZaq8Uye8k8W

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?

Windows for home | Windows 10 | Microsoft Store

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!

    I did all the steps Vijay recommended and it turns out the error was resolved with step 7. Who would have thought a firewall setting in Windows Defender would prevent my PC from connecting to the Microsoft Store? Very odd that Microsoft wouldn't immediately send out a patch to repair this glitch as surely most users don't have the patience to attempt all that troubleshooting and they are certainly losing traffic and revenue to the Store as a result of it.
