Cannot access any Microsoft site + Windows store is broken
So I decided to give Sea of thieves a go and try to download it, went on windows store and purchased 3 months of Xbox game pass, then when i went to download the game after i hit install nothing happened. Tried over and over again for about an hour with no luck.
So then I google the issue and most results linked to microsoft forums, none of which i could access, my pc just downright wont load anything Microsoft. I thought it was chrome but even Microsoft Edge wont do it.
I was told to check if the hosts file located in Windows/Sytstem32/Drivers/etc was different from default and with thorough checking there seems to be nothing wrong with the hosts file.
Was also told to disable anti virus and firewalls but they were already disabled.
Its been around 3 hours of searching results and trying different things, still cannot access any kind of Microsoft website or install anything on the windows store.
I really don't want to factory reset my PC and redownload 1.7TB worth of games so any help would be very much appreciated.
(Not tooooo PC savvy on the technical side so layman's terms are also appreciated)
