Windows 10: Microsoft Apps: "You'll need an Internet connection for this"

Hello. Today I was going to download an app from the Microsoft Store and it wouldn't load. I took a few minutes to open with the following message:

​

(Error code: 0x800704cf)​

I can click cancel and click on different pages of the Microsfot Store, but it appears again and I can't download anything. I tried to open the Xbox app too and it asks me to sign in. When I try, it says that I need an Internet connection, but I have one. I don't use proxy and I disabled my Firewall, in case that was it. I tried using the automatic DNS and also the 1.1.1.1 one, but it didn't work. I also have reseted the apps from Add or remove programs. I ran some commands in Powershell to reinstall the Windows Store, but it gives me the same message.

Also, I can't use wsreset.exe. The command prompt window stays black forever.
