Windows 10: WINDOWS UPDATE AND STORE DISABLED!!

Hello, this is my first post and i'm really in need of help please
I've been facing this problem for almost a week now.

The windows update has an error 0x80070422 and so does the microsoft store

The troubleshooter reports nothing is wrong

These are the things i have done so far:

1. From 'services.msc' i have tried to enable windows update by setting it to automatic/manual but it goes back to disabled and gives the error 1058: The service cannot be started, either because it is disabled or because it has no enabled devices associated with it

I have also checked BITS, network lists, etc and they seem fine


2. From 'Regedit.msc' i have tried modifying some data from all i saw on youtube but to no avail


3. I have tried to uninstall the last thing i installed McAfee Total Protection Antivirus but it didn't fix anything


4. I tried scanning errors through Cmd, it didnt fix the issue i was looking for


5. I even did a system restore and set it back to the day before the error occured. That didn't work either


6. Switching accounts does not get rid of the problem.

I have tried many more things and spent hours and days on it and done almost everything youtube and microsoft forums had to offer
Please help i dont know what to do anymore

:)

 

Windows 8 failure configuring updates and reverting

I agree 8 is awful! It's not for me though... I replaced a broken screen in a Win 8 laptop that was given to me and I am going to give it for free to someone that can't afford one so they can do homework at home. Yes I took it from 8 to 8.1 back on 10/09/2014. This is what I posted there...

"Great post! I found a similar one. I would like to point out that you may want to edit your OP...

1. Step 1 should read to disable AUTOMATIC updates, not disable manual updates.

2. KB2871398 should really read KB2871389

I would like to say that KB2917499 may also be needed as it was in my case. I also had to run the Windows Update Troubleshooter after installing those 2 updates. After these steps I was able to begin my 8.1 download from the Microsoft store. I don't know if it made a difference or not, but I also went into the Bios and disabled "Secure Boot."

It was a helpful post. Thanks!

 

unable to run window store and update

Sorry for the late response. If the above steps did not work, let's try another troubleshooting step. You can try the suggestion by Linley Meslier above and see if it will resolve the issue. If not, try resetting Windows Store cache. Follow the steps below:

• Click on Cortana.
• Type WSreset.exe, then click it.
• The Store app and a command prompt will open without any messages and it will automatically close when the process is done.
• Restart the computer.

After doing the steps, try running Windows Store again and see if you can do an update.

Let us know if you need further assistance.

 

Windows Phone users Clubhouse

I think I'll put a list of people's favourite apps in the OP, starting with my own until I get some suggestions, but you can take a look at the Windows Phone app store at the top apps to see what's popular http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store
