I've tried the time and region settings and made sure my computer was up-to-date. I also tried the windows reset.exe and it said "we can't open this MS windows store link. Your device needs a new link." but if I open the store in a browser window it refuses to download the store app and instead opens to an untitled blank page. Please help!

    Hello

    1. Run the Windows Store Apps troubleshooter. To do this, go to Settings > Update & Security > Troubleshoot > Windows Store Apps.
    2. Try creating a new user account on your Windows device and see if the Microsoft Store works on the new account.

    Open Windows Terminal or Command Prompt as Admin. Type the following command and press Enter:

    Get-AppXPackage -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

    This command will attempt to repair the Windows Store.

    If the above step doesn't work, you can try to reinstall the Windows Store using PowerShell. Open PowerShell as an administrator and run the following command:

    Get-AppxPackage -allusers Microsoft.WindowsStore | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
