Windows 10: Microsoft Store has lost its "Check for Updates" button

I run Windows 10 Pro on a Dell laptop. This morning, I opened the Microsoft Store to check for updates but found the "Check for Updates" button was missing. After a bit of trouble, I managed to reinstall the Store, but the button was still missing. Where did the button go? How do I gethe button back? How do I work around the problem?

Microsoft Store Check Your Connection error

Hi,

I am using Windows 10 Pro and I cannot access the Microsoft Store. When I open it, I get a message saying "Check your connection. Microsoft Store needs to be online. It looks like you're not." Underneath this message, there is a button labeled "Check Connection", it brings me to the Network Status page under Windows Settings. This page indicates that I am in fact connected to the Internet. I found a few videos on YouTube that suggested the following:

1. Make sure I am not set to use a proxy server
   
2. Repair the Microsoft Store App
   
3. Reset the Microsoft Store App
   
4. Make sure that my system date and time (including time zone) is correct and not set to automatically update.
   
5. Try the Windows App troubleshooting tool for the Microsoft Store app
   
6. Remove and then reinstall the Microsoft Store app.
   

If anyone here can suggest any other troubleshooting steps I can take, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks in advance,

Paul
