I was asked to place this question over here in TechNet so here it is:

I've scoured these forums to no avail concerning a problem I'm having regarding the Windows Store. When attempting to install any app from the Windows Store, I'll receive a 0x80096004 error message. I've followed all of the steps, from clearing the Store cache, ran all updates...all of it. In my gut, I honestly believe my particular problem is stemming from an Internet filter issue. We have a Bloxx Internet Filter deployed in our corporate environment and it aggressively filters out HTTPS sites. In fact, I had to locate the Windows Activation web address to add in to allow that function to occur.

Long story short: Can someone provide the actual site that the Windows Store is referencing when attempting to "purchase" apps (my problem is occuring on a free app, such as Twitter)? If I can add that to our filter, I believe my problem will go away. This of course is assuming that there is an HTTPS site that Microsoft uses to house such apps, something like https://apps.windowsstore.com or something similar.

Thanks for any help provided.
