Windows 10: Error code 0x800704cf ; Problem with firewall

I am using a firewall software with full access. I block many windows programs from accessing the internet so that windows cannot access my data. I also blocked windows store from accessing the internet. It gives error 0x800704cf. but I don't know which of the blocked apps is causing this error. One or more of them must be providing windows store access to the internet. If I approve which one of them can access the internet, the problem is solved. I will allow the least number of apps.

Error Code 0x800704cf After Sleep and Hibernate

Completed BIOS update and have had multiple system restarts.

After automatically installing driver upon restart: Intel 20.70.25.2 (2021-06-22).

• Still getting error code 0x800704cf after sleep and hibernate.
  

Ran Network troubleshooter

• Still getting error code 0x800704cf after sleep and hibernate.
  

It would help if there was a way to narrow down which software was triggering this error.

Error 0x800704cf in microsoft store

Hi,

As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest

• Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
• Hit Enter to proceed.

You may reset the Store a couple of times before checking if the issue persists.
