Windows 10: Can't install or update any app from the Microsoft Store.

Every time I try to install or update an app, I get an error.

I don't normally use this store, but there are several apps that I legitimately want to install, and can't install because of this issue.


Every time I try, I get the same error code: 0x80070005


I've already tried all of the solutions in this video, except for the System Restore (which I want to avoid doing):

Any ideas?
