Windows 10: 0x800704cf Error Code when attempting to log in to Microsoft apps

Whenever I try to log in to my Microsoft account on my computer it gives me an error message 0x800704cf. I tried some troubleshooting such as running the network adapter troubleshooter and resetting the TCP/IP stack, however I just get a less descriptive "oops something went wrong" error when I try to login. I don't think it's an issue with the account as I still get an error when I try to create a new account.

Error 0x800704cf in microsoft store

Hi,

As per the error message, your internet connection might have something to do with the error code 0x800704cf. The anti-virus on your computer can also be the culprit here. However, let us not assume anything yet until we isolated your concern. We suggest
that you download and run the Windows Store App Troubleshooter. Once done, check if the issue persists.
You can also check if the Store works in another user account. If the issue
still persists, we suggest to reset the Microsoft Store. Here are the steps on how to do so:

• Press the Windows key + R on your keyboard, the type in wsreset.exe.
• Hit Enter to proceed.

You may reset the Store a couple of times before checking if the issue persists.

Let us know the result of the troubleshooting steps provided above.

There is no repair button for the Sticky Notes app and I can't log in to my To Do list. It gives error 0x800704cf, it has nothing to do with syncing. Also the other 7 steps I have already tried. Unfortunately they did not work either.
