"There is a problem completing your request. Please try again later. Inquiring minds might find this error code helpful: 80070020"

Resetting the device doesn't helped. Within the reddit.com thread, there is a suggestion to set the date to December 3, 2017. This may re-enable app downloades from store. Also in Microsoft Answers has this long thread dealing this this issue. Neowin.net referes here to a private Facebook group, where this topic is also under discussion. Are you affected?
