Windows 10: Error: 0x80070002 - Unable to Install/Update Windows Store Apps on Win 10 - 1909

Hi there, I'm trying to find a solution to Error: 0x80070002, which appears while trying to download any new app OR, update any existing app in windows store. The error pops up as soon as the store shows "Downloading". I'm currently using Windows 10 Version 1909.


I've tried multiple "fixes" including date/time, resets, turning on/off system processes & clearing data, windows update Which appears to be functioning, system restore and troubleshooting.


Any other ideas?

:)
