Windows 10: Microsoft s

Hey, I wanted to restart Microsoft stores, Firstly I tried wreset and I could not get it to work, afterwards I reset from apps & features, I checked back after restarting my computer and it was gone, and couldn't run, I tried some remedies and they didn't work, so I decided to use remove-appx, after that I ran the command Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$$_.InstallLocation\AppXManifest.xml"} after and it didn't work, it responded with

Add-AppxPackage : Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073D0A, The package could not be installed because the Windows

Firewall service is not running. Enable the Windows Firewall service and try again.
error 0x80073D0A: Failed to install package Microsoft.WindowsStore_12009.1001.1.0_x64__8wekyb3d8bbwe because the

NOTE: For additional information, look for [ActivityId] b463b808-0a2d-0005-83be-63b42d0ad701 in the Event Log or use
the command line Get-AppPackageLog -ActivityID b463b808-0a2d-0005-83be-63b42d0ad701

Microsoft Edge TLS Security

After trying everything (not a lot of steps) listed in the Microsoft Edge support site, I did a wider search and found this very simple youtube video that fixed it immediately:

For those who prefer not to click links the steps are simple:

1. Click in the Cortana search bar next to the Win 10 Start button

2. Type internet options

3. Select internet options (control panel) from the list

4. Click on the advanced tab

5. Scroll down to the security section

6. Make sure the following are all clicked:
Use SSL 3.0
Use TLS 1.0
Use TLS 1.1
Use TLS 1.2

7. Click apply

8. Refresh the page that was giving the error and it should now connect.

Hope this helps, it was a 30 second fix after hours of pounding my head against the error with the Support site suggestions.

 

Microsoft signals end of Paint program

Microsoft has confirmed that it will continue to offer its graphics program Paint.

In a recent update, it had listed Paint as a feature that would be either removed or no longer developed.

Paint, renowned for its simplicity, has been part of the Windows operating system since its launch in 1985.

Microsoft suggested it would not remain on Windows 10 by default but did say it would be available for free on the Windows Store.
