Unable to Use Microsoft Store – Error 0x80070422

Anonymous

I'm experiencing a persistent and critical issue with Microsoft Store that makes it completely unusable. It began with an error message every time I tried to install or update an app from the Store. Immediately upon opening the Store or attempting any action, I receive the following error:

" Something went wrong

Please try again later.

0x80070422 "

Even before I interact with the app, the error message appears. I have already tried the following solutions with no success:

Running wsreset
Repairing and resetting Microsoft Store via Settings > Apps
Restarting and verifying key services (Windows Update, BITS, InstallService)
Switching to a different user account
Deleting and re-installing Microsoft Store using PowerShell

After signing out of my current account, I can no longer sign in at all – not into the previous account, nor any new one. The same error message keeps showing up.

I also have the same question:(

Is the "Microsoft Account Sign-in Assistant" service enabled and running?
