Windows 10: Microsoft store not connecting to internet

I recently bought a new computer, Windows 10, and I didn't visit the windows store for a few weeks. I recently needed to get some stuff off the store, but whenever I would open an app, this error would come up:

It's been happening for a while and I have tried pretty much all of the online troubleshooters, fixes, and edits I could, yet none of them have worked so far and I desperately need a fix for this. I have Windows 10 version 1709, OS Build 16299.726
