Windows 10: 0x80072F8F

One of the app crashes and won't open again, I tried reinstalling the application in MS Store but it won't let me reinstall it back. I keep getting error message 0x80072F8F.

:)

 

Cannot install updates or Store apps, error code 0x80072F8F

All this looks alright, except the SFC /SCANNOW command returned a note about there being some corrupt files - I have the log saved if (part of?) it would be useful?

 

Cannot install updates or Store apps, error code 0x80072F8F

Puzzling. Tends to suggest permissions errors or other corruption.

As a matter of routine, please run these basic checks.
a. Check your disk e.g.
HD Tune (free) Health and Error scan tabs (e.g. from Softpedia).
b. If ok, run
chkdsk c: /scan
from an admin command or Powershell prompt
c. if ok, run
SFC /SCANNOW
similarly

Report the summary results.

What is the status of these services?

I tried every possible fix and nothing has worked until I came across this fix tonight below. It gives step by step instructions to update the TLS protocols. I spent hours and considered buying a new computer. Hopefully, its what works for you. I made sure my windows 7 was up to date before I made the registry file in the link below.
