I am unable to use the Microsoft Store because it populates with a 0x80070422 Windows Update Error. I've screenshotted the troubleshoot message below. I've tried restarting my PC, using service manager to restart Windows Update and change between manual and automatic, performing a clean boot, and I've done a quick and full scan for threats through Windows Security. Additionally, I don't have any third part antivirus installed.

I have also attached a screenshot of the current version.

I want to be able to use Microsoft Store please. Thank youScreenshot 2025-12-11 132303
