Windows store error code 0x80072EFD

Windows store and other first-party windows apps say that I am not connected to the internet, even though I am, and give the 0x80072EFD error code. The windows update and Windows apps troubleshooters could not find any problems. Even sfc /scannow did not find any problems. However, if I use a VPN and connect to a USA server, Windows store loads and I am able to download and install apps.

    I connected an ethernet cable to my laptop and the store is opening and working. But when I connect to the internet using WiFi, it doesn't work.

    Have you set different DNS/Static IP address to the WiFi ?

    I got it working!

    Under the properties of the network connection, IPv6 was unchecked. I checked it, and the store and all the other apps started working again.

    Thank you, everyone, for your inputs and help.
