Have you tried changing your DNS servers?
Thanks Ken, this is how it looks, it is set to automatic.
I also did the other Router/Modem checks suggested in a previous post.
Tomorrow I have an appointment with a Tech at the Microsoft Store in Orlando Florida, I will be surprised if he can fix it. If there is a bug or two in 1703, the solution is out of his hands. I may just do a complete op sys and data backup today to one of my External Drives then ask for my money back tomorrow if it cannot be fixed while I am there. Grrr...![]()
Yes so the suggestion is to force DNS servers in that panel, you can just use Google severs listed in tutorial.
I think you said other devices in house can't reach store either.
If it is your DNS servers, your internet connection or something your supplier is "Blocking" (use that term very loosely) then I would expect it will work when you get to shop.
I think very early in this thread your flush your DNS, one of four commands I think I provided.
The backup idea is excellent. Good luck.

Thanks Ken, I must have missed the Google servers listed in the tutorial. Right now I am doing the partition backups for C op sys drive and D data drive. As soon as they are done, I will go back to the DNS servers business.
My Sony Vaio Z Win 7 laptop would not download anything from the store either, not even a simple calculator. I have a few others I will try them too.

I changed the DNS Servers to 8 8 8 8 and 8 8 4 4, but still no downloads. I finished my drive partition backups so the next step is the Microsoft Store on Tuesday. Wish me luck.
Will do Ken, I have put off the visit to MS Store due to the impendiing Hurricane IRMA. We need to do preparations, I think they are a bit more of a priority right now. In the meantime, if there are any developments re. my Win 10, I will post them.
Thanks very much for your help and the others who posted along the way.
