Detailed description:
Whenever I tried to install any Microsoft app, such as to configure my Mail for an Outlook EMail Account, the system tried to connect me to the MS Store to validate my account, then I get this error. This happens while my YouTube is playing on the side -- This indicates me my WiFi is working. Please see the uploaded image.
I also did a debug using Windows System's tool to check the WiFi connection issue, it says everything is OK except that Microsoft.com website is not responding.
I then used an ACER Laptop computer to do the same thing, and I did not get such error. So that means it is not the problem of my WiFi network. And more likely it is the problem of the ACER Laptop.
This is such a serious problem that I cannot activate my MS Office Professional Plus 2019 license online. I had to make a phone call to Microsoft store in order to get my license validated.
This is a freshly Motherboard Fixed by ASUS factory in USA. I'll appreciate if any comments that can help on this.

Hello jonyeh,
It does look like a microsoft account or verification issue.
