Windows 10: Microsoft store not updating no matter what I do

I recently wanted to download a game on my PC but unfortunately I couldn’t do so due to the fact my Microsoft store wasn’t updated. I tried updating it each time but it kept saying access denied. I reset my windows 10 and erased everything except for my files to see if WS would work but it still keeps saying the update won’t go through. I tried almost everything but it seems like it’s impossible to fix. Please help.
