Hey i found a setting that allowed me to fix the problem

Do Windowskey-R then type gpedit.msc and then ok

go to computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Windows Update >

then there should be an option thats ON saying: "do not connect to windows udate internet locations"
when you turn this OFF it should fix the Update issue and start downloading in the store

Greetings Hamid

Worked for me - had to change from "Not Configured" to "Disabled" which is OFF and your solution worked and allowed the MS Store install to obtain a license (for Ubuntu for me) and perform the download.

Thanks : )

I wouldn't have bet on it, but it worked, after having tried a bunch of useless fixes! I am really grateful to you!

Thank you so much, this solved my problem... I changed it from "Not Configured" to "Disabled" which means OFF.

Hi,

If you enable the following group policy setting you will end up with the error.

Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows Updates/DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations - Enabled

The above should be set to Not Configured

This policy shows up in the registry under the following key.

HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Servicing\DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations

Deleting the DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations in the registry does not resolve the issue but changing it in group policy may helps.

You could try the method above.

Microsoft should review how this is working because this gpo setting is also used to prevent the users from using the "Check online for updates from Microsoft Update" in Windows Update.

So basically, if you allow the Store to download apps, you allow the user to bypass WSUS/SCCM patching because this gpo is the only way to hide the feature. in Windows Update..

Amazing, I setted Computer/Administrative Templates/Windows Updates/DoNotConnectToWindowsUpdateInternetLocations - to "Not Configured" and worked OK.

You could try to do the following steps:

Start --> Settings --> Update & Security --> Troubleshoot

Select Windows Store Apps and run the troubleshooter.
