Windows 10: Cannot download anything on Microsoft Store Error 0x80070005

I can't download anything on the Microsoft Store.

When I click install, it'll start downloading, get to the 'Acquiring License' stage and then after a few seconds give me 'error 0x80070005'.

I've restarted my computer, made sure I had the right account, troubleshooted the Microsoft Store app, but nothing seems to have worked.

I'm not exactly a computer genius as well, which makes fixing this issue all the more difficult.


Any help would be appreciated.

:)
