Do you have any errors showing in your device manager?

  1. To open Device Manager. Press the Windows logo key and the R key simultaneously. This should open a Run Box.
  2. Type: devmgmt.msc.
  3. Click OK or press the Enter key.
  4. Device Manager opens

My internet seems to be working just fine, browsing and downloading (on the PC itself).

No errors in the Device Manager.

Why would the store not work. You can try run in CMD prompt, SFC /scannow to check for damaged file system

How about from Powershell:

Code:
Get-AppXPackage *WindowsStore* -AllUsers | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
