Windows 10: Download error in Microsoft Store

Whenever i try to download any app from the store.The error code is PUR-AuthenticationFailure, followed by a changing alphanumerical string last one i've had was "j7gMPUrE4Uq2ZaDmgeSzig", and of course it's telling me to login again.If i try to do so, i get another error, namely 0x8007426.Both errors have been going on for quite some time, likely more than a year, however i've recently uninstalled an app that i now need again.I've tried to search for people asking about the same problem, yet the closest one i've found was locked without receiving a proper answer this one https://answers.mi
