Hello,A while ago I removed my hard drive for some computer cleaning, and once I put it back, I could no longer access windows updates nor the windows store. I want to play sea of thieves, but I cannot even get into the store to download. I used to be able to access the store, but I cannot do even that anymore. all of my downloads are stuck at 0%. I have scoured the internet and cannot find a proper solution, or even an answer to what is wrong. help plz.

I had the same problem when i repaired my O/S, i forgot the steps on how to fixed it, but it is in the microsoft support forum.

You have to reinstall the windows updater, then restart the updating service.
