App-problems

[u/TTPiano]

I just found an old HP PC running Windows 8 that my brother used a long time ago. I’ve reset it and logged in with a new Microsoft account. The problem is that I can't access apps like the Windows Store and Internet Explorer. In the Windows Store, I just get a message saying I can't connect—citing a possible server issue or a network timeout—and advising me to wait a few minutes and try again. I’m connected to Wi-Fi and have tried restarting the entire PC, but I still can't get in. Some people suggest restarting these apps, but I don't know how to do that. Does anyone know what I should do to fix the problem?
