Microsoft Store can't connect to internet

Windows Store apps won't work properly if you are using a proxy server, so you must add them to the proxy bypass list:

  • Run inetcpl.cpl (Internet Properties)

  • Click the Connections tab

  • Click LAN Settings

  • Click Advanced

  • In the Proxy Settings window, Exceptions section, input the following entries, separated by comma:

    login.live.com, account.live.com, clientconfig.passport.net, wustat.windows.com, *.windowsupdate.com, *.wns.windows.com, *.hotmail.com, *.outlook.com, *.microsoft.com, *.msftncsi.com


An alternative is to use regedit to position to the registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings and set the ProxyOverride item to:

login.live.com; account.live.com; clientconfig.passport.net; wustat.windows.com; *.windowsupdate.com; *.wns.windows.com; *.hotmail.com; *.outlook.com; *.microsoft.com; *.msftncsi.com
