Windows 10: How to solve the impossible Error Code 0x80070520 in Win 10

Hi Folks,
My name is Fred and I'm a retired Sheet Metal worker from Local #12 in Pittsburgh, PA. I know just enough about computers to get myself in trouble. I just finished building a new rig and it ran fine. I started transferring files from my old computer and then I started having e-mail troubles. The window said click on the troubleshooter and I did. Then the next window said; We're sorry but we were unable to fix the problem. Error Code:080070520. I tried about 4 or5 so called easy fixes and I guess the reason they're easy is because they failed to work for me. Does anybody here have the answer?
My OS is Win 10 Pro.
Fred

Thanks, problem solved!

But Windows built-in troubleshooter(Update & Security >
Troubleshoot), didn't actually solved the problem, it simply showed "no problems detected",

After that I downloaded troubleshooter from microsoft's website, that showed "Windows store cache maybe damaged" and fixed it. That solved my problem.

Thank you.
