Windows 10: Trying To Install Anything In The Microsoft Store And Get An Error

Hello,


Today I bought Minecraft win10 and tried to download it but it wont work. I've tried to retry the download multiple times but every time I just get an error I have also tried downloading some of my games I have already owned and they wouldn't work either I've tried everything I've seen on google and I have found nothing that works.


It gives me the error code: 0x80072F8F


So I looked up that error code and have tried every possible thing I have seen and nothing has worked out for me.


I hope someone can help me with this because I have been trying for hours on end trying everything and have been unsuccessful in figuring out what is wrong
