Windows 8.1 Store not available - has it shut down?

Anonymous

Hi,

I have had Windows 8.1 (Core/Home 64-bit, British English) on my laptop (Lenovo G50-30) since I got the laptop in 2015. Last month, I replaced the hard disk with an SSD and reinstalled 8.1. I installed a few apps from the Store, like Netflix (pictured)

But when I tried this week, I tried on multiple days this week but got these errors:

I have tried WSReset.exe to no avail, and I know it is not a connection configuration issue as the Internet is working fine and I haven't changed any settings since it worked last month.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,

Alexander
