Windows 10: There is no region to choose from

So I installed windows 10 (1909) on this old laptop a couple of months ago, shortly after the Windows Store stopped working with error 0x80131500, back then I tried some solutions from the internet that didn't worked, so I just ignored the problem, until today. I have interest in installing an app from the store but it keeps showing me that error message, I tried a lot of solutions this time (like re-registering the store, "reinstalling" it, resetting it...) with no change...

So I checked the event viewer to see if I can get a hint on what's up with the store, there are a lot of warnings and couple of erros for each time refresh the error on the store. One of the logs mention a "not available in your region" error, I went to check in what region I left the PC, and found that the region selection box is blank, and there is no region to choose from.

I read on the internet that the region is important for apps, and if it is blank then I'm assuming that this is my problem.

Any ideas on how to fix it?
