Windows 10: Cannot install things in Microsoft Store, error 0x80070426, no solutions worked :

I cannot install Ubuntu on my machine, infact I can't install anything through the Microsoft Store. I get an error 0x80070426.


I have googled the problem and followed all the instructions I found see list below and I completed almost all of the steps appropriately with the exception of being able to stop the WinDefend service in task manager / msconfig. Before trying to install Ubuntu I followed commands from here, which is a command which I think basically enables linux to be used: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-win10. At the bottom there is no way for me to comment about my problem, so here it is.


Here is the list of websites with instructions I've followed to fix the error I've probably looked at others but they were duplicate solutions:

I would like to work with some Linux, but I'd also just like to be able to use my PC normally, please help!

Error 0x80070426

I'm so frustrated with things that have gone wrong since update to the anniversary release.

The latest is when I do a restart, I get a Error 0x80070426 error. The Security Center Service show that it is running.
I think it started when I did an msconfig and tried other booting options to look for another problem. I did not make any changes in msconfig.

This does not happen when I do a shutdown, and reboot.

What can I do?

Fast Start on or off makes no difference.

Software Protection is set to Automatic Delayed. The status on the list of services does not show it running. The status on the properties showed it running, then not running. If that sounds strange, look at the status of the Security Center on both windows, it's showing both:
