Windows 10: Microsoft Store and Microsoft Office errors including 0x800704cf

Hello,


This week I purchased a refurbished computer with Windows 10 Pro. Microsoft Store and Microsoft Office do not work, and I believe the two errors may be related.


When I try to log into the Microsoft Store, an error box pops up and says, “You’ll need the internet for this. It doesn’t look like you’re connected to the internet. Check your connection and try again. 0x800704cf” There is nothing wrong with the internet connection.


I installed Microsoft Office Pro Plus 2013, which I have used for years on my old PC. The installation seemed to go fine, but when trying to use any of the components Outlook, Word, etc. an error box pops up saying, “Background installation ran into a problem. Please make sure you’re still connected to the internet, or try connecting to a different network.” Again, there is nothing wrong with the internet connection. All other apps connected to the web are working fine.


Both of these issues seem very similar, as if they are part of the same problem. I have tried to troubleshoot by checking firewall settings, and walking through several tutorials I found online. Nothing is working.


I am hoping you know of this issue and/or would be able to help me resolve it.


Thank you,


-Jeff

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
that you download and run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Once done, check if the issue persists.
You can also check if the Store works in another user account. If the issue
still persists, we suggest to reset the Microsoft Store. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• 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.

Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps provided above.
