Windows 10: Windows 10 is not sure it is online (update error 0x80070422, store error 0x80072F30)

I figured I should start by saying I am on the internet successfully with this machine. I'm writing this post from it right now. So at least some of the networking functions are working.


However, I stopped being able to check for windows updates on August 14, and at the same time my Windows Store started complaining that I seem to be offline (which is wrong), my UWP programs all think I'm offline.


I sign into my computer using my Microsoft account, and that is working. However when I go to Windows Security -> Account protection, the Microsoft Account section says I'm not signed into Microsoft. It does not give an error message or a place to sign in.


My Microsoft Office 2016 desktop applications are working, but if I try to open a file directly from the Onedrive website to one of my Desktop apps (eg Excel) it says "We are unable to connect right now. Please check your network and try again later."


I can download the file and open it from my machine with no errors.


All the problems started at the same time. I can't particularly think of something I installed at that time, and I have scanned my computer repeatedly with various anti-malware products to be sure.


I have run the Windows Update troubleshooter - it downloaded an update and then said I was fixed. I'm not.

I have run the Windows Store troubleshooter - no good.


Any other suggestions?

:)

 

Error 0X80072F30

Hi,

Error code 0x80072F30 is associated with the Windows Store and is an error that basically inhibits the Windows Store from launching successfully. Error code 0x80072F30 can be caused by anything from a stopped Windows Update service to a corrupted Windows Store
cache or anything in between. Here are some of the most effective solutions that you should try in order to resolve error code 0x80072F30 and regain your ability to successfully open the Windows Store.

Solution 1: Make sure that the Windows Update service starts automatically

1. Press the Windows Logo key + R to open a Run. Type services.msc into the Run dialog and press Enter.

2. Scroll down the list of services until you locate the Windows Update. If the Windows Update service is not already running, right-click on it and click on start to actually start the service.

3. Right-click on the Windows Update service again. This time, click on Properties. Open the drop down menu in front of the Startup type option and select Automatic. Click on Apply and OK on your way out. Restart your computer and the Windows Store should launch
successfully once your computer boots up. If it still won’t work after the Reboot, repeat the same steps for the Windows Store service.

Solution 2: Reset the Windows Store’s cache

1. Press the Windows Logo key + R to open a Run. Type wsreset.exe into the Run dialog and press Enter. OR Click OK.

2. Restart your computer, and the issue should no longer persist when your computer boots up.

Solution 3: Set the right time, date and time zone on your
computer

1. Open the Start Menu. Click on Settings.

2. Click on Time & Language. Disable the Set time automatically. Go on and set the right time and date.

3. Don’t forget to configure the right time zone on your computer on your way out. Save all of your new settings.

4. Restart your computer, and Windows Store should launch successfully once it boots up.
