Windows 10: Code: 0x80070005 Issue in downloading apps from Microsoft Store

This error always pops up when trying to install any apps from the Windows store.
I have tried so many solutions but none of them work, from using a different user account with admin, reinstalling windows, reinstalling Microsoft store, resetting Microsoft store, SFC scans and troubleshooting and none of them work. If any help can be provided that would be great!
