Its a work device so I'm signed in like a good little corporate peon, still they manage to fuck it up.

Then your IT has blocked use of the terminal and store for your account.
Which makes sense for regular users to reduce the chance of fuck-ups and rise of a shadow IT.
This isn't a Microsoft issue (except for the slightly unspecific error message).

Its possible the IT admin misconfigured, but blocking the terminal or the store would not make sense at this company since most employees need them on a daily basis.
