Windows 10: Unable to 'GET' the Scan app through MSFT store

When I try to 'Get' the Scan app (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/wi...otverviewtab), I receive the following message - "This app has been blocked by your system administrator....". Something is blocking my ability to download and install the Scan app on one of my systems (windows 10 version 20H2) . After some review, I can see that group policy is preventing my access through the Microsoft store. I'd like to get help in resolving this annoyance - don't know how this was triggered. I'm attaching 4 event log entries to maybe help in diagnosing what is going on.

Unable to purchase app in store

Hello Nraina thank you for posting.

Here are some suggestions you can try in order to solve this issue.

• I would suggest you log with your Microsoft Account on
  https://account.live.com make sure your birth date, time&date and the time zone are correct.
  

• If you are having this issue on your Windows Phone, please check the time and date on the phone as well (<<settings <<time&date) and set them on manual.
  

• Please also log with the same Microsoft account to
  http://www.xbox.com and make sure you have created you Gamertag.

• As a last step, please just do a soft reset of the phone (if the issues are on you r Windows Phone)

Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons for 20 seconds, until the phone vibrates. Once it vibrates, release the buttons and the phone should restart.
