So I’ll try to keep this issue short because I feel like I’ve tried everything. I can’t connect to my windows store or any windows services on windows (one drive, word..etc) on my browser it works but not within windows. Idk what type of files or settings were somehow damaged but it seems un-fixable without a full reinstall now.

ive tried windows reset while keeping my files and that did nothing. Then I tried “reset settings while keeping my files” and that seemed to fix it. But then all it did was essentially reinstall my windows while leaving all my files there unable to be ran because They were all messed up somehow. Essentially felt like a clean reinstall. I ended up reverting everything using the “windows.old”’file. I have so many little things symbolically linked that I really would not like the headache of having to remember and in slot of cases just have to reinstall a bunch of programs.

One key thing I noticed that might have fixed my issue is that before I booted on the 2nd option they asked me all the questions in setting up the windows store and cortana (do you want to give permission to enable cortana, location services etc) Something I did not get when doing a windows reset while keeping my files. So I’m wondering if there is any way at all to somehow do a full reset of the windows store and things associated with it????
 
Solution
have you tried making a new user to see if perhaps the user profile is the problem?
See here and make local user - make it admin - https://support.microsoft.com/en-au...-create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account
While logged into your normal user, go to C/users
Copy content of the current users folder onto the new users folder, this will give it the same access. It means you don't have to install everything again, just log into a few things again.

log into new user and see if store etc still busted.
