Windows 10: Can't download from Windows Update or Microsoft Store

Hello I am struggling to download anything at all from either of these and I cannot figure out what the problem is.

I am on the latest version of Windows 10 Pro at the time of writing this, Version 1903 and OS build 18362.175.

I've attempted every solution I've found online, including wsreset, using the windows troubleshooter, limiting the download bandwidth, re-registering the microsoft store, deleting the SoftwareDistributions folder, and likely others that I've forgotten.

I am able to install updates by going to the Microsoft Update Catalog website and manually downloading from there, but Windows Update is entirely stuck on 0 %. I'm guessing my problems with the Microsoft Store are related to Windows Update not working. Right now Windows Update is attempting to download KB4503293 but is stuck at 0 %.

I have noticed that intermittently Microsoft store can download at around 1kb/s, however this is way below my internet speeds which are at 500Mb/s. I do not experience any problems with other programs and I am able to download at full speeds from my browser.

I appreciate any suggestions, thank you for reading. I'll gladly provide any further information if needed.

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
