Windows 10: Code: 0x80072EFD

Hi,I have followed a lot and I do mean a lot of guides to overcome the "Code: 0x80072EFD" when I open the Microsoft Store. I have reinstalled Windows as a clean install and the store worked for a day and then the same error came back.

Unable to open Windows Store: The error code is 0x80072EFD

I have the common problem with the store with the above error code.

I have done some of the steps listed in other threads. I cannon find these threads again as Searching is extremely difficult in windows 10 as there is no browser history.

Can anybody suggest how to fix it beyond the basic steps?

Running "Type wsreset.exe and press Enter." did nothing or didn't work.

Another step listed was to check the latest video card driver. How is this done in Windows 10?

How do you drill down to internet/advanced options in windows 10? Again very easy in previous version, very difficult in windows 10.
