Yeah, I'm going too, while I'm generally on top of stuff like that, like auto scans on all my machines (all windows bar my NAS) and I do run all my stuff through a PiHole on my NAS, so I get less stuff via the web. I'll still do a manual forced scan on all machines, one each over night (as I...

None of those things worked.... But, read on. So, turns out I found the problem. A setting that was on, but I'd never turned it on, although turning it off, everything I couldn't access (even the MS Store) now works. Unsure why this being on caused the issue, turning it back on, all the items...
