Initially, I was trying to install a game I bought on the Microsoft Store. The game wouldn't even install, so I went through a myriad of support ideas from the various Microsoft support sites et al (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/micxrosoft-store-error-code-0x80131500/41d2d363-83ee-4b5d-ba43-615ca63bb1bf)
for example, and none of them worked for me.
So I decided to reformat my PC. I downloaded a Microsoft Media Creation Tool, reformatted my PC, and reinstalled Windows 10. I ran the initial updates it likes to run, and before I installed anything else, I tried launching the Microsoft Store. It gives
me the ugly, non-descript pop-up, that says Try that again. Page could not be loaded. Please try again later. Below that it says
Code: 0x80131500 and below that it reads CV: TYGWcotGlEmFcHo1.
As far as troubleshooting this time around I have done pretty much everything:
- Windows Key+R > Type services.msc and press Enter > Locate Background Intelligence transfer and ensure it is set to Start and Automatic. Also, do the same for Windows Update service as well
- Run Windows Store Apps Troubleshooter
Windows Key+X > Click Settings > Click Update & security > Click Troubleshoot > Scroll down to the bottom > Click Windows Store Apps > Click Run the Troubleshooter
- Reset Windows Store through Command Prompt
Type cmd in Windows Search box > Right click on Command Prompt > Run As Administrator > Type WSreset.exe and click Enter > Reboot your computer
- Re-register All Store apps (You will get many Reds, ignore them)

Temporarily uninstall/disable AV -- I havent done this, because I havent gotten to install it.
I can't begin to say how unacceptable this is. I am never buying anything else from the Microsoft Store ever again...
Could someone provide some light into this mess?
