Windows 10: Error: 0x80070002 - Unable to Install/Update Windows Store Apps on Win 10 - 1903

Unable to suddenly update or install any apps anymore in Windows Store. Am on Win 10 1903 (Build 18362).

Getting Error Code: 0x80070002

Have tried all online options like running Store/Update troubleshooters and deleting the SoftwareDistribution folder, and checking date/time, etc.


I tried the In-place upgrade, but getting the same issue. Nothing getting updated or installed from Windows Store. Am flummoxed on what possibly could be the Issue.

Unfortunately, resetting the OS, or reverting back to an older backup is not possible for me.


Please help me as I need to update my WSL due to some critical work requirements.

:)
