Windows 10: Microsoft store says that I'm not connected to the internet.

I'm trying to sign into an account on the Microsoft store, and it says that I'm not connected to the internet. As you can tell since I'm posting this, I do indeed have internet. I've tried restarting my pc, checking for Microsoft store and windows updates, running troubleshooters and the repair functions of apps. It gives me the error message "0x800704cf".

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

 

Microsoft Store says i'm not connected to the internet but I am connected to the internet

Hi Shaian,

Your Windows Store showing you don't have an internet connection might be due to a variety of reasons. One of which is due to corrupted Store files.

Does your PC tell you as well that you don't have an internet connection or just the Store app?

When did this start to happen? What were the recent changes made before this occurred?

What Windows 10 build and version are you currently on? You may check it by following these steps:

• Press the Windows + R keys from the keyboard to launch the
  Run dialog window.
  
• Type winver, then press the Enter key. You may then see the Windows 10 version and build you're in.
  

We'll be waiting for your response.

Regards.
