Windows 10: Neither Windows Store nor Edge Recognizing Internet connection

I continuously get Code: 0x80072EFD in Microsoft Store, but Microsoft Edge as well as Cortana.


It will open my settings menu, which again says that my wifi isn't connected to any network, much less the internet. (which, it is otherwise I sure the hell couldn't be posting this)


I have tried the "solutions" for the above code on the forums, to no avail. I have reset the computer twice, to no avail. I have backed up to my previous set-up to no avail. I can't be the only person having this issue.



I'm running


Windows 10 Home

Version 1803

Build 17134.1


Windows Store

Version 11712.1001.23.0


Microsoft Edge

Version 42.17134.1.0


Microsoft EdgeHTML 17.17134

Microsoft Edge and Windows Store not connecting to Internet

Hi Martin,

Those suggestions did not help me connect those applications to the internet Do you have any other suggestions? Outlook, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and other programs can access the internet; Cortana, Microsoft Edge, the Windows Store, and the suggested
Lock Screen wallpaper thing have stopped being able to access.

Thanks,

Samuel
