Windows 10: What does error code 0x800704cf mean?

Every time I try to download anything, whether it be an app, theme or wallpaper. Or even trying to sign in for this feedback. A pop up window pops up saying, " You'll need the internet for this. It doesn't look like you are connected to the internet. Check your connections and try again." Then it gives me the code 0x800704cf, like I am supposed to know what that means. I am not able to use the Window Store to download anything. I've been dealing with this headache and I am livid. I am not able to complete my work, because I can't download anything, that I need to use for my work.

Ran Network troubleshooter

It would help if there was a way to narrow down which software was triggering this error.

Error 0x800704cf in microsoft store

Hi,

As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest
that you download and run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Once done, check if the issue persists.
You can also check if the Store works in another user account. If the issue
still persists, we suggest to reset the Microsoft Store. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
• Hit Enter to proceed.

You may reset the Store a couple of times before checking if the issue persists.

Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps provided above.
