DEAR FRIENDS,
WINDOWS STORE'S CLOSURE BY MICROSOFT IS WILD CAPITALISM, WITHOUT RESPECT BY CONSUMERS.

Hi, I'm trying to download my apps before the store shutdown next month but I cannot download ANY app.
It shows an error with the code c101a006.
I was able to download any apps yesterday even without an email attached to the phone. Later I decided to restore the phone to the factory defaults before downloading the apps in anticipation to the Store being terminated. After the restore, I signed in with my email and for my surprise I can NOT download ANYTHING from the store.
There is some default app updates pending in the download section that also cannot be installed for the same reason, giving the same error code.
They start downloading but autocancels right after. When I tap then, they show the same error code.
I'm pretty sure the Store is not closed yet.
I already tried a lot of things that people suggest:
-Changing date+time to December 3rd of 2017
-Reset the phone (voldown+power)
-Restoring to defaults again
-Creating a new email
-Reflashed using Windows Device Recovery Tool
A lot of people already had problems with the Store not downloading apps, I also saw that some of them got this problem after factory resetting the phone just like me.
The problem in the link is not 1:1 but once I changed the date+time, I got the error above.
How are we supposed to download our apps before the Store shutdown in the next month, if we still have problems like this?
Can a representative take a look at these problems? Please.

2019-11-26T04:37:03+00:00 Microsoft please fix this. Just got a new Lumia 1020 for its camera, and can't even use that because Lumia Camera app is not in the factory reset bundle. How do I get Lumia Camera app on a reset 1020? This is really bad.

2019-11-26T02:05:36+00:00 I live in Brasil, and my Lumia 640 was paid for U$200 some years ago. Big deal, any other dual sim+dtv was more than twice that price that time.
Now, MS could not just finish our relationship with a single end point.
It is necessary to be dramatic, as always, closing Windows Store one month before announced date, to ensure the historic hate level between its customers.
And it is time to seek for a new dual sim+dtv in my country, which will cost by U$600+ today. The world think this is a good device, and pay a lot for a similar. Except Microsoft.
I heard about an Android app that imitates the WP initial screen. Hope it can be true.

2019-11-26T01:26:50+00:00 Really? Update the whole OS when these ruins can not even show "my app's"? I think it is better to use the rest of my contract with this company to call for an Uber to take me to any Android dealer.
