Windows 10: Windows Store / Edge will not connect to internet

I'm getting error 0x80072EFD and 0x80131500 in Windows Store and Microsoft Edge also refuses to connect to website but everything else works fine (Chrome, Firefox).


I upgraded to Windows 10 1809 before it got pulled.


I tried all the helps out there (don't use a proxy, sfc, dism, reset network settings, run troubleshooters, disable firewall, disable AV, etc.).


Wireshark shows no packets leaving so the apps aren't even trying to connect. Some DLL or Registry setting must have gotten fried.


Most likely will have to reinstall after 1809 is re-released. Don't want to install 1803 only to upgrade in a week to 1809.


Thanks,

:)

 

Microsoft Edge and Windows Store not connecting to Internet

Hi Martin,

Those suggestions did not help me connect those applications to the internet Do you have any other suggestions? Outlook, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome and other programs can access the internet; Cortana, Microsoft Edge, the Windows Store, and the suggested
Lock Screen wallpaper thing have stopped being able to access.

Thanks,

Samuel
