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!

    Whew!

    COMPLETE REINSTALL!!

    Did you try this?

    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

    Yes I had tried ALL the solutions mentioned and nothing worked, not even the fresh re-install. I posted the solution that worked for me. I am not urging anyone to follow it, but if ALL other solutions don't work then there is mine that worked, that's all. Thanks everyone for your concern but my problem is solved and if you make backups of your pictures, the bookmarks and settings of your browser(s) (chrome excluded, if you have a gmail account your settings will be intact) and everything valuable to someone (I don't mean the backup of Windows but a backup of those files on a different HDD) than it is not a big problem, not for me anyway.
